APD RMS Training Revitalization Team Wins Florida TaxWatch Award

Aniseh Abou-Saeb and Michele Patterson received a 2019 TaxWatch Productivity Award for their new training program for the Random Moment Sampling (RMS) system. RMS is used to determine how funds should be claimed among the various programs for federal reimbursement. Each quarter after the new training was implemented, the amount of federal revenue APD received increased dramatically. The first three quarters after RMS training was created and delivered, the RMS earnings had risen 85.28%, equating to an increase of $600,000 in federal earnings received per quarter and an estimated $2.4 million annually.
