CMS Pub. 100-24, ch. 3, § 3.1
State Input
The state must submit files via an electronic file transmission (EFT) exchange setup (i.e.,
Connect:Direct or Cyberfusion) or a CMS secure internet exchange (i.e., GenTran or
Tibco). The state input files containing the state buy-in accretion, deletion, and change
records must be received by the CMS Central Office (CO) in Baltimore, Maryland no
later than the close of business (COB) on the next to the last business day of the update
month. Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays are not considered business days. It is
the state’s responsibility to submit its files timely. If input files are not received by the
next to the last business day of the update month, CMS CO shall assume that the state
will not be submitting state buy-in input files for the month. Files received after the next
to the last business day of the update month may be treated as input for the next update
month.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
