Guide to State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Reporting

This guide outlines the reporting requirements for the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program, which was established under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in 2021. The SLFRF program is designed to support communities during pandemic recovery and has undergone significant updates, including changes to reporting requirements issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The document details the three main types of reports required: the Interim Report, the Project and Expenditure Report, and the Recovery Plan Performance Report, which must be submitted by various government entities. It emphasizes the importance of clear internal processes for tracking expenditures and obligations, as well as the need for designated team members responsible for SLFRF management. Additionally, the guide highlights the expanded eligible uses of funds, the focus on equity and climate resilience, and the new requirements for reporting interagency agreements and equity-focused outcomes. The reporting schedule and specific requirements for each report type are also included.
