TO THE ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESSED:

 

SUBJECT:  American Reinvestment and Recovery Act Grant Funds Must Be Obligated by Project End Date

 

Local educational agencies (LEAs) are reminded that all American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) funds from the grant programs listed in the following table must be obligated by the respective project end date, or those funds will lapse and be returned to the US Department of Education.

If ARRA grant funds are planned to be used to pay for purchases and/or services, items purchased must be received and all services must be rendered by the project’s end date. LEAs should not pay in advance for services to be rendered, even if those services are rendered before the project end date. For further information on cash management requirements, refer to the September 28, 2010, “To the Administrator Addressed” letter posted to the TEA Correspondence page.

LEAs may submit expenditure reports for reimbursement of any expenses paid after the project end date (but prior to the due dates for the final and revised final expenditure report), as long as the expenditures were incurred no later than the project end date.
