Received ARPA, Now What?
Presented by Yara Ibrahim and Damon Armeni, Deloitte



Recipients of State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds have received ~$350 billion to support the response and recovery from COVID-19. Many are diligently working to comply with Treasury’s evolving guidelines. However, in doing so, are they overlooking critical criteria that could put their funds at risk for Claw back? We’ve completed an analysis across the nation and this session will cover five common opportunities for improvement.

Learning Objectives:

  • Project description enhancement – do your submitted project descriptions meet Treasury’s guidelines?

  • Written justifications – have you compiled the required written justification for capital expenditure projects aligned to certain expenditure categories?

  • Obligation of revenue loss – did you obligate your revenue loss as per Treasury’s regulations? Many recipients have moved SLFRF funds to a general fund as revenue loss without further establishing an obligation with those funds

  • Unobligated funds – are you on track to obligate the remaining funds by December 31, 2024? Note: Procurement usually takes two to three months!

  • Recalculation of revenue loss – Did you know that recipients may now supersede their prior election in future reporting cycles and instead take the standard allowance as opposed to calculating their revenue loss and vice versa?

Award Closeout: Let’s Start at the Beginning
Presented by Jennifer Zarek, LSSYB, Implementation Team Lead, AmpliFund



While closeout may come at the end of the award program, preparing for it starts on day one. Closeout requires reconciliation of both expenditures and activities against the budget and within the parameters of the award agreement. Ultimately, you must show that you spent your funds in a way that enabled you to achieve your documented goals. To effectively demonstrate this at closeout, you must have processes in place from the start and establish periodic checkpoints to ensure that your program stays on track and activities, as well as expenses, are appropriate and documented.

In this webinar we’ll cover:

  • What is needed for closeout – for both the grant maker and recipients

  • Common missteps that you can avoid

  • Practical strategies for successful closeout

You’ll walk away with two checklists – one for grant makers and another for grant recipients – to help you implement the steps we discuss.
