February 17th SWGMG Meeting Cancelled

Unfortunately we are cancelling this quarter's meeting. Instead of holding a meeting this quarter we are providing key updates in the newsletter below. We look forward to seeing you at the May 19th meeting. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
Coronavirus Relief Funds
As you have probably heard, the deadline to spend Coronavirus Relief Funds has been extended to December 31, 2021.

The OSC continues to work with departments on supporting their monitoring efforts.

Remember: it's imperative to monitor expenditures for CRF eligibility as the State will likely be audited at a later date.
Updates to Grant
Agreement Templates
The Central Contracts Unit (CCU) at the OSC is in the final stages of reviewing new changes to the OSC approved grant agreement templates. The changes incorporate required revisions needed per the 2020 Uniform Guidance as discussed at the November 2020 SWGMG meeting.

In addition, the CCU is also in the final stages of review and approval on the new tribal agreements.

We will notify you when both templates are finalized as well as link to the new documents on our webpage.
HB 20-1426 Quarterly Reports
In December we shared information related to HB20-1426 that requires the Office of State Planning and Budgeting to submit quarterly reports on emergency and federal funds to the Joint Budget Committee. Although this information is being requested of Budget Directors at departments we wanted grant managers to be aware of any requests being made for information related to federal grant funding. Similar to last quarter, the OSPB has provided a workbook to Budget Directors to review, verify and update information. This information must be completed by Wednesday, February 18, 2021.
