Subject: Updated Subaward Requirements for April 2023 Project and Expenditure Reports

Importance: Normal

 

Dear SLFRF Reporting Representative:

 

Please note that this email is providing information on the upcoming Project and Expenditure (P&E) Report that is due April 30. The portal does not open April 1st, and there is no need for action at this time.

Beginning with your April 2023 P&E Report, Treasury will have two updates to your subaward reporting requirements. These are:

  1. 1. Unique Entity ID Requirement Emphasis – All subrecipients and contractors are required to have a Unique Entity ID (UEI) and have that number included as part of the reporting process. The UEI is the replacement for the previously used DUNS numbers, and they are issued by SAM.gov. While this requirement is not new, starting in April 2023’s P&E Report the report form will now return an error when no valid UEI is provided when creating new Subrecipient or Contractor entities. Please consult SAM.gov here if you have questions about obtaining a UEI.
  2. 2. New Subaward/Direct Payments Entity Type – All Subawards/Direct Payments records will be required to have an “entity type” selected before a subaward can be created. This field will capture whether the entity receiving the award or payment is a Subrecipient, Contractor, or Beneficiary. Attempts to create a new subaward for a subrecipient without a populated entity type field will result in an error.

Additionally, existing subawards to subrecipient lacking an entity type are expected to be corrected as part of the April P&E Report and can be done so using bulk revisions. Additional instructions for this be made available in the upcoming User Guide. You can also find the updated Subaward template file for bulk upload here.

Please note that your next P&E report is due by April 30, 2023, and the portal will open for submission on April 1, 2023.

For further questions or issues regarding reporting requirements, please see the Recipient Compliance and Reporting Responsibilities page for useful information and updates on the reporting process. To access reporting materials and learn more about the SLFRF program, please visit Treasury’s State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds website.

 

Treasury looks forward to working with you to ensure the continued success of the program. If you have questions or need additional information, please send an email to SLFRF@treasury.gov.
