6 General Fiscal Guidelines and Requirements General Information The Department of Public Safety and Justice Services, Public Safety Grants (PSJS-PSG) staff will closely monitor project spending and the use of grant funds. Programs that are not expending funds according to the requirement will be subject to additional on-site fiscal monitoring and possible termination of funding. PSJS-PSG and ODYS reserve the right to reduce the award amount or withdraw all or part of any local or state award when it appears that funds will not be spent within the project period. Audit Requirements PSJS-PSG and ODYS must ensure that all subgrant recipients adhere to OBM Circular A- 133 and the OJP Financial Guide audit requirements, which state that agencies expending $500,000 or more in federal funds annually have an audit. Therefore, ODYS is requiring that agencies who receive federal funding from ODYS submit a copy of the subgrantee s most current audit report, or provide a certification stating that it does not meet the $500,000 threshold so no audit is required. D-U-N-S Number All recipients of federal funding are required to have a Data Universal Numbering System (D- U-N-S) number to be eligible for federal funding. This number is a unique, nine-digit number that identifies each physical location, division and/or branch of your company and is used by the federal government to verify and monitor millions of businesses across the nation. For more information on obtaining a D-U-N-S number go to Record Keeping Projects must maintain a complete record of all financial and programmatic documents for each subgrant funded by PSJS-PSG. Financial records must include receipts, bills, and payment vouchers/checks for all purchases including contracted services. Programmatic records must include all documents produced for the program such as curriculum, flyers, and brochures. PSJS- PSG and ODYS require subgrantees to retain all project records for three years beyond the final closure date of the Subgrant. Non-Supplanting of Funds Federal funds cannot be deliberately used to substitute or replace state or local funds that would otherwise be spent for a particular program or purpose. State and local funds may not be decreased as a result of the addition of federal funds made available through ODYS. Commingling of Funds A clear audit trail is required for each source of funding (federal and match) by funding year. Receipts, expenditures, and disbursements for each funding source are to be accounted for separately. 5

7 Cash Match Requirements Applicants are required to provide a cash match equal to 10 percent of the total project budget. The total project budget is the sum of the federal share plus the cash match. The match can be calculated by dividing the federal share by nine ($50,000 / 9 = $5,556 match, for a total project budget of $55,556). Projects that do not document sufficient cash match will have the award amount reduced proportionately. Over-Matching It is strongly recommended that projects include only the required match and do not overmatch. This is because match is subject to the same terms and conditions as federal funds and must be tracked and managed accordingly. Projects that elect to over-match will be held strictly accountable for the entire match amount. Construction Cost Cash Match Applicants applying under Purpose Area 2, to build, expand, renovate, or operate juvenile correction facilities are required to provide at least a 50 percent cash match of the total project budget when funding construction. The term juvenile correction facility refers to any public or private residential facility designed to physically restrict the movements and activities of juveniles held in lawful custody. Allowable Cash Match Funds from the following sources may be applied to projects as the required cash match: Funds from states and units of local government. Funds from the Housing & Community Development Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. 5305, et. seq. Funds from the Appalachian Regional Development Act. Equitable Sharing Program, a Federal asset forfeiture distribution program to state and local officials. Private funds. Payments To request payments against an approved subgrant award, the recipient must submit a completed Financial Report Form (FRF) to PSJS-PSG. The FRF must show expenditure of costs listed in the approved budget and must be signed by the by the subgrantee or authorized official. The FRF is due on a monthly basis no later than ten (10) days after the end of the month even if no funds have been expended. Per federal requirements, PSJS-PSG and ODYS must collect documentation for all expenditures from each subgrant project. Therefore, PSJS-PSG will only make payments on a reimbursement basis. Documentation, at a minimum, must include the following for the budget item: Personnel and fringes payroll records, timesheets, and copies of checks showing the check has been cashed or cleared Consultant and contracts copies of contracts, payments, vouchers, and invoices Travel mileage logs, hotel and parking receipts 6

8 Supplies detailed receipts for purchases (purchase order, invoice, and proof of payment) Equipment inventory forms and receipts for purchases (equipment must be tagged) Other costs payment vouchers, receipts, and copies of checks showing the check has been cashed or cleared It is critical that each person paid through the subgrant maintain a timesheet, signed by them and a supervisor, for the time spent working on the project. Timesheets must list specific hours worked and must not include hours worked on other projects. Payments without timesheets will not be approved. The Department of Public Safety and Justice Services, Public Safety Grants will withhold all pending and future payments when project directors are delinquent on programmatic and/or fiscal reports. Cash on Hand No cash on hand is allowable for funded projects. Project Income Project income is all income earned by the subgrantee or implementing agency as the direct result of project activities and cash on hand held in an interest bearing account. Separate project income records must be maintained and reported quarterly. Project income must be spent during the project period for approved project activities unless otherwise approved by PSJS-PSG and ODYS. Projects expending project income must continue to submit financial reports until funds have been completely expended. Project income cannot be commingled with subgrant funds or local funds provided for the project. It is not allowable as match except for asset forfeiture funds. Per Diem Payments If federal funding generates state-supported per diem payments, the per diem payments are considered project income. Per diem payments that are not a direct result of federal funding are considered non-project income and may be used as match subject to ODYS review. For example, Title IV-E reimbursement payments are considered project income.

10 Employer s Share of Fringe Benefits Fringe benefits usually have provisions for a certain percentage to be paid based on allowable salary costs (i.e., salary costs that have proper documentation and are incurred in accordance with the provisions of the subgrant and the standard conditions). Standard fringe benefit costs include: FICA 7.65 Percent PERS between 12 and 16 percent Unemployment Compensation between 2 and 6 percent for the first $9,000 of an employee s annual wages Insurance Premiums prorated at the same percentage of time as the employee works on the project When the organization s actual costs are greater than the standard fringe benefits costs, please provide sufficient detail in the budget narrative to justify the cost.

Typical supplies include paper, pencils, ink cartridges, postage, tape cassettes, etc. Keep all invoices or receipts for supplies purchased. When supplies are shared between two or more projects, applicants must allocate the cost separately. For example, if 50 percent of the supplies are used for the project, 50 percent of the supplies cost can be charged to the subgrant. Other Costs Charged to Subgrants Certain line items can be charged to the Other Cost category including rent, utilities, telephone, bookkeeping, maintenance, equipment lease, photocopying, and printing. Construction Costs Construction costs under purpose area 2 must include a detailed narrative explaining the time line, expected construction completion date, and other funding sources used to complete the project.

Funds used for administration are also subject to the 10 percent match requirement. Subgrant Closeout Projects cannot obligate any subgrant funds after the official project period end date. However, PSJS-PSG allows projects 30 days after the project period end date to pay any unpaid obligations. A final FRF must be submitted to PSJS-PSG within those 30 days, to request final payment. Projects must also submit an Equipment Inventory Form and all Performance Reports must be current in order to receive final payment. Laws and Other Requirements Ethics Representatives of the subgrantee and implementing agency are required to adhere to all federal, state, and local codes of ethical conduct/standards in administering any award of federal funds. The following provides a general summary of typical standards that would apply. Program staff cannot: Use their position for personal gain Have a personal interest in contractual agreements Hire family members to be paid with federal funds Disclose confidential information Give or receive gratuities Give or receive special advantage or favor 10

12 Abuse, waste, or misappropriate funds Please note the list is not exhaustive and other standards of ethical conduct may apply. Non-Discrimination Requirements Recipients of financial assistance are prohibited from engaging in acts of discrimination. By accepting the subgrant award, the recipient agrees to comply with all applicable federal and state laws. The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, or sex, in Office of Justice Programs (OJP) and Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) funded programs or activities, and the implementing regulations. (42 U.S.C. 3789d and 28 C.F.R et seq.) Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin in OJP and COPS funded programs or activities, and the implementing regulations. (42 U.S.C. 2000d and 28 C.F.R et seq.) Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in OJP and COPS funded programs or activities, and the implementing regulations. (29 U.S.C. 794 and 28 C.F.R et seq.) Section 1407 of the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or disability in VOCA funded programs or activities. (42 U.S.C ). Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as it relates to discrimination on the basis of disability in OJP or COPS funded programs or activities, and the implementing regulations. (42 U.S.C and 28 C.F.R. Pt. 35). Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as it relates to discrimination on the basis of sex in OJP and COPS funded training or educational programs, and the implementing regulations. (20 U.S.C and 28 C.F.R. Pt. 54).

(42 U.S.C and 28 C.F.R et seq.) Limited English Proficient (LEP) Individuals Title VI's prohibition of discrimination on the basis of national origin has been interpreted by courts to include discrimination on the basis of English proficiency. Under Title VI (and the Safe Streets Act), recipients are required to provide LEP individuals with meaningful access to their programs and services. Providing "meaningful access" will generally involve some combination of oral interpretation services and written translation of vital documents. The Department of Justice's Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons provides additional information for recipients about their Title VI obligations. This guidance includes a Four Factor Analysis, which recipients can use to determine what steps 11

13 they should take to provide meaningful access for LEP individuals. Numerous resources are available for subgrant recipients, including: What Federal Agencies and Federally Assisted Programs Should Know about Providing Services to LEP Individuals Self-Assessment Tool for Recipients of Federal Financial Assistance These guidance documents, along with many other resources, are available at Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations Following the issuance of Executive Order 13279, in 2004 the Department of Justice (DOJ) promulgated a regulation to ensure that no organization will be discriminated against in a Department-funded social services program on the basis of religion and that department-funded social services are available to all regardless of religion. The regulation, entitled "Participation in Justice Department Programs by Religious Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment of all Justice Department Program Participants, and known as the Equal Treatment Regulation, is codified at 28 C.F.R. part 38. It reflects the principles that religiously affiliated (or "faith-based") organizations should be able to compete on an equal footing with other organizations for funding. This regulation ensures a level playing field for the participation of faith-based organizations as well as other community organizations in Department programs by: Prohibiting discrimination for or against an organization on the basis of religion, religious belief, or religious character in the administration or distribution of federal funds; Allowing a religious organization that participates in department programs to retain its independence and continue to carry out its mission, provided that direct department funds do not support any inherently religious activities. While inherently religious activities are permissible, they must be separate in time or place from the funded program, and participation in such activities by individuals receiving services must be voluntary; Clarifying that faith-based organizations can use space in their facilities to provide department-funded services without removing religious art, icons, scriptures, or other religious symbols; and Ensuring that no organization that receives direct financial assistance from the department can discriminate against a program beneficiary, or prospective beneficiary, on the basis of religion or religious belief. Equal Opportunity Programs DOJ regulations require recipients of financial assistance from OJP and COPS to prepare, maintain on file, submit to the OJP s Office for Civil rights (OCR) for review, and implement an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) in accordance with 28 C.F.R The regulations exempt some recipients from all of the EEOP requirements. Other recipients must prepare, maintain on file and implement an EEOP, but they do not need to submit the EEOP to 12

14 the OCR for review. Recipients who claim a partial or complete exemption from the EEOP requirement must complete an EEOP Certification Form and submit it to the OCR. Activities in Violation of the Hatch Act The restrictions of the Hatch Act (5 C.F.R ) concerning the political activity of government employees are applicable to state grantee staff members and other state and local government employees whose principal employment is in connection with activities financed, in whole or in part, by Title I grants. Under a 1975 amendment to the Hatch Act, such state and local government employees may take an active part in political management and campaigns; however, they may not be candidates for office. Drug-Free Workplace Recipients of JJDP Act funds must agree to comply with all applicable state and federal laws regarding a drug-free workplace. The subgrantee shall make a good faith effort to ensure that all contracted employees, while working, will not purchase, transfer, use, or possess illegal drugs or alcohol, or abuse prescription drugs in any way. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Federal regulations require compliance with Subtitle A, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C , and Department of Justice implementing regulations, 28 C.R.F. Part 35. Anti-Lobbying Act No federally appropriated funding made available under this grant program may be used, either directly or indirectly, to support the enactment, repeal, modification, or adoption of any law, regulation, or policy, at any level of government, without the express approval by OJP. Any violation of this prohibition is subject to a minimum $10,000 fine for each occurrence. This prohibition applies to all activity, even if currently allowed within the parameters of the existing OMB circulars. Civil Rights Compliance All recipients of federal grant funds are required to comply with nondiscrimination requirements contained in various federal laws. In the event that a court or administrative agency makes a finding of discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability, the recipient of funds must forward a copy of the finding to ODYS and to the Office for Civil Rights, OJP. Confidentiality and Human Subjects Protection In accordance with 28 C.F.R. Part 22, applicants requesting funds for research or statistical activities must submit a Privacy Certificate with the application. The Privacy Certificate should ensure that the applicant has appropriate policies and procedures in place to protect the confidentiality of data identifiable to private persons. Specifically, the Privacy Certificate must comply with the requirements of 28 C.F.R OJJDP has developed guidelines for preparing a Privacy Certificate in accordance with the confidentiality regulation.

15 Certificate are available on the OJJDP Web site. Applicants are further advised that an institutional review board must review any project that will involve the use of human research subjects. Review is not required prior to submission of the application. However, if an award is made and the project involves research using human subjects, ODYS will place a special condition on the award requiring that an appropriate approval. NEPA Compliance The use of these grant funds are subject to compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C et seq.) and other related federal environmental impact review requirements, including the National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).
