The U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) recently released the Project and Expenditure Report and associated User Guide to be used by recipients of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act, to submit data associated with the SLFRF program and fulfill the program’s reporting obligations. The report is due for Tribal governments that received more than $30 million in SLFRF funding on January 31, 2022.

NAFOA, in coordination with Treasury, is hosting a webinar on January 18, 2022, at 3pm EST to walk through the SLFRF Project & Expenditure report for Tribal governments. You may register for the webinar here.

Funding from the SLFRF is subject to the requirements specified in the Final Rule released by Treasury on January 6, 2022. Treasury released an Overview of the Final Rule, which provides a summary of major rule provisions to assist recipients and stakeholders. Treasury also released a Tribal government fact sheet, which contains highlights of the final rule relevant to Tribal governments.

If you have questions or need additional information regarding the SLFRF, please send an email via SLFRP@treasury.gov.
