Tips and Tricks for Filing ARPA Reports
 

• You should have received an email from SLFRF with a link to this Website:  https://portal.treasury.gov/compliance       

This is where you need to go to begin the reporting process.
 

• Find your login and password for Login.gov    You need this to login to the Treasury Portal to file your report.   If you cannot find it, you will need to create a new login and this might be a problem because some municipalities have had a change in the administrator during the year.

 

• After you log in, you can look at your reports created to date.  If you don't have a copy of last year's report, you can download it and print.  You can duplicate everything except the amount of money - you need to add that "surplus" to the figure from last year, unless you didn't spend it yet.

 

• Step through the screens, making sure that everything is accurate in your profile. 

 

• If you have projects to report or money spent or obligated on the project reported last year, please go to the Project Overview page.  To make it simple, since all boroughs received less than $10 million, we suggest using these:

*  For the Expenditure Category Group, choose 6-Revenue Replacement
*  The next box select 6.1 Provision of Government Services
*  The Recipient Project ID is – Makeup your own for internal purposes
*  Give the project a name and description.  Keep it SIMPLE
*  Boxes with a red asterisk must be filled in.
*  You do not need to enter the approved budget if using Revenue Replacement.
 

• Make sure you select the Standard Allowance for Revenue Loss on the Recipient Specific Page.  This will allow you to claim your entire ARPA allocation (including the small bonus distribution) for the provision of governmental services. Make sure to enter the full ARPA allocation under the field “Revenue Loss Due to Covid-19 Public Health Emergency.”  This will be your LAST chance to make this selection. 

 

• When you have everything filled in, make the status is "completed" (green check marks) and hit Certify and Submit.
