![Page 5: Fiscal Management of Federal Programs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815720550346895dc4bc79/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Consolidated Application
Start date is NOT the date consolidated application is submitted in the eGrants system!
Start date depends upon the following: Date the signed, hard copy of consolidated application
is received in DFP and … Signature date (date authorized representative enters
next to their signature)
Start date can be as soon as July 1st but never sooner
End date is always September 30th unless LEA requests “carryover.“

Carryover
![Page 7: Fiscal Management of Federal Programs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815720550346895dc4bc79/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Period of Availability of Funds
• Project funds are available for up to a 15-month period:
▪ 2012-13 funds: 7/01/12 through 9/30/13
• LEAs may carry over these funds for one year beyond the original year of funding:
▪ 2012-13 funds may be carried over until 9/30/14
*(Extra time to spend project funds, if needed )
![Page 8: Fiscal Management of Federal Programs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815720550346895dc4bc79/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Carryover2 Different Pots of Money – NOT Co-mingled
2012-13 funds 2013-14 funds
*12-13 Carryover funds are NOT added to the 13-14 funds account.
Remains 2 separate accounts Is documented in budgets AND Final Expenditure Reports
LEA should expend carryover funds BEFORE current year funds
![Page 9: Fiscal Management of Federal Programs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815720550346895dc4bc79/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Carryover is NOT “automatic”
LEA must “request” carryover if entire program allocation will not be expended by project end date. (Sept. 30th)
If LEA does not draw down entire project balance in their October 10th Quarterly Report, then LEA must contact DFP to request carryover.
Carryover
![Page 10: Fiscal Management of Federal Programs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815720550346895dc4bc79/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Requesting Carryover
• LEA must do the following to request carryover: Contact Administrative Technician in DFP
Provide project number AND amount to be carried over
- Project No: 013-13-2688 - Amount of Carryover: $44,663
• AT will process carryover request for LEA
![Page 11: Fiscal Management of Federal Programs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815720550346895dc4bc79/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CarryoverLEA can also request carryover when completing Consolidated Application in eGrants:
If LEA knows all 2012-13 funds will NOT be expended by 9/30/13 (when completing 2013-14 application), simply take care of carryover then.
Talk to LEA Business Manager: Get approximate amount of carryover for each project where funds will not be entirely drawn down by Sept 30, 2013.
LEA will enter this amount in project’s “Carryover Section” within Consolidated Application in eGrants.
![Page 12: Fiscal Management of Federal Programs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815720550346895dc4bc79/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

There is no limit on carryover for
the following programs:

Title I – Improving Basic Programs
**Limit of up to 15% of Title I allocation
![Page 13: Fiscal Management of Federal Programs](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815720550346895dc4bc79/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
**Limit on Carryover of “Title I” Funds
LEAs may NOT carryover MORE than 15% of Title I funds… without a “carryover waiver.” - Only applies if allocation is $50,000 or more
LEA MUST request carryover waiver from their Regional Coordinator in DFP. –Send email to your RC / Provide reason why needing to carryover more than 15%
** Must be reasonable & necessary
DFP may grant LEA a waiver of this limitation once every 3 years.

• According to balances it appears many LEAs have a lot of $$ they are not spending
• USDE sends letter to Governor’s Office and to PDE – asking why???
