American Rescue Plan Act Reporting Deadlines
Please see below for county compliance and reporting requirements and deadlines for the Treasury ARP Fiscal Recovery Fund. Treasury also released a user guide for the ARP reporting portal, which includes step-by-step guidance for submitting the required Recovery Fund reports using Treasury’s portal. 

  • Interim Report: Due by August 31, 2021, the Interim Report requires all counties to report programmatic data for spending between March 3 and July 31, 2021 (ONE TIME REPORT).
  • A county must submit an Interim Report even if it hasn’t obligated or spent any Recovery Funds. The county should submit a report showing no ($0) obligations or expenditures have yet been incurred.
  • If the county received Recovery Funds AFTER July 15, 2021, the county must submit an Interim Report within 60-days of receiving funding.

  • Project and Expenditure Report: These reports are also required for all counties (with two tiers, see below) and require project and expenditure data for awards and sub-awards, demographic information for each project, and other programmatic data
  • Initial Project and Expenditure Report is due October 31, 2021:
  • For counties with awards above $5 million, project and expenditure reports are due quarterly.
  • For counties with awards under $5 million, project and expenditure reports are due annually.

  • Recovery Plan Performance Report: Only required for counties with populations over 250,000 residents. The template for the Recovery Plan Performance Report (I.e. strategic plan) can be found online.
  • Required to be published annually on the county website and provided to U.S. Treasury
  • Contain detailed project performance data, including information on efforts to improve equity and engage communities
