U.S. Treasury Extends Reporting Deadlines  

Yesterday the Office of Recovery Programs at the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced an extension for reporting deadlines that were originally required to be submitted on October 31st. This is not a trick but rather a treat! Treasury has sent email communications to State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund recipients including states, territories, counties, cities, and Tribal governments about updated timelines for reporting. The modified timelines include:
 
  • States, territories, counties, and metropolitan cities, and Tribal governments will complete the Project and Expenditure data next on January 31, 2022 (instead of Oct 31, 2021) . The report will now cover the period between award date and December 31, 2021

  • The first reporting deadline for NEUs to complete the Project and Expenditure Report will be April 30, 2022 (instead of Oct 31, 2021). The report will now cover the period between award date and March 31, 2022. 

Treasury will provide recipients with user guides prior to the reporting deadlines. However, you should continue to take action on your allocated distribution and provide the necessary contact information to set up your account in Treasury’s Reporting Portal. If you have questions please see Treasury's guidance document on the portal or contact via [email protected].

The Treasury Compliance and Reporting Guidance has not been updated with the new dates, but can still be used if you want to review and get a jump start on reporting. We will post any new document received regarding reporting and compliance on the League's ARPA website.
 
Thank you for all your hard work to make this historic partnership between federal, state and local units of government successful.
