Length and Time Phasing of Assistance
Funds are made available though annual program year grants. The program year runs from July 1 to June 30. Funds obligated for any program year may be expended by each recipient during the program year and the two succeeding program years. Payment will be made by advance Treasury check or electronic funds transfer through the computerized Payment Management System.
Formula and Matching Requirements
This program has no matching requirements. One hundred percent of WIA section 166 monies are distributed by formula, as follows: 25 percent allocated on the basis of the relative number of unemployed Indians and other Native Americans within the grantee's geographic service area compared to the total number of unemployed Indians and other Native Americans in the U.S. 75 percent of the funds are allocated on the basis of the relative number of members of Indian and other Native American households, whose income is at or below the poverty level, within the grantee's geographic service area compared to the total number of members of Indians and Native American households in poverty in the U.S. This funding formula is codified at 20 CFR 668.296.
Note:
A formula may be based on population, per capita income, and other statistical factors. Applicants are informed whether there are any matching requirements to be met when participating in the cost of a project. In general, the matching share represents that portion of the project costs not borne by the Federal government. Attachment F of OMB Circular No. A-102 (Office of Management and Budget) sets forth the criteria and procedures for the evaluation of matching share requirements which may be cash or in-kind contributions made by State and local governments or other agencies, institutions, private organizations, or individuals to satisfy matching requirements of Federal grants or loans.
Cash contributions represent the grantees' cash outlay, including the outlay of money contributed to the grantee by other public agencies, institutions, private organizations, or individuals. When authorized by Federal regulation, Federal funds received from other grants may be considered as the grantees' cash contribution.
In-kind contributions represent the value of noncash contributions provided by the grantee, other public agencies and institutions, private organizations or individuals. In-kind contributions may consist of charges for real property and equipment, and value of goods and services directly benefiting and specifically identifiable to the grant program. When authorized by Federal legislation, property purchased with Federal funds may be considered as grantees' in-kind contribution.
Maintenance of effort (MOE) is a requirement contained in certain legislation, regulations, or administrative policies stating that a grantee must maintain a specified level of financial effort in a specific area in order to receive Federal grant funds, and that the Federal grant funds may be used only to supplement, not supplant, the level of grantee funds.
