Don’t Let Your ARPA Dollars Go Back to D.C. Learn How to Get Back Into Compliance.
March 24th, 2025The March 27, 2025, deadline is fast approaching for boroughs to be in compliance with the U.S. Treasury Department reporting requirements regarding the annual ARPA Project and Expenditure reports. If your borough has completed the required report, please disregard this notice. PSAB recently alerted those boroughs affected of potential non-compliance of the reporting requirements by email and urged them to file the report by March 27.
The United States Department of the Treasury (USDT) has identified several Non-Entitlement Units (NEUs) of local government recipients that have failed to submit the required Project and Expenditure Reports for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 reporting periods. These recipients are considered noncompliant and may be subject to recoupment or repayment of State and Local Fiscal Recovery (SLFRF) funds in accordance with 31 CFR 35.10. Noncompliant communities have been identified and despite multiple attempts to contact them via emails and phone calls, a number have not submitted the required reports.
As a result, USDT issued an Initial Notice of Recoupment on January 15th due to reporting noncompliance. The Initial Notice serves as the first formal written notification of the amount subject to recoupment, including an explanation of the amounts. It also outlines the compliance violations and provides recipients with an opportunity for remediation or to request reconsideration.
Failure to file by March 27, 2025, may result in recoupment or repayment of SLFRF funds.
To avoid losing funds, the USDT encourages you to submit your outstanding 2024 Annual Report before the reporting portal closes on March 27, 2025.
Your community can avoid recoupment by submitting the most current cumulative PA9348 - P&E Report - 2024 using one of the following portal links within 60 calendar days of receipt of this Notice.
USDT has posted many resources to guide recipients’ compliance with reporting requirements in the SLFRF Report Submission Toolkit.
