There are different variations of form ETA-9130, each pertaining to a specific program/funding stream.

The instructions for the various ETA-9130 forms are not identical.

Please ensure that you are using the correct ETA-9130 form and instructions.

Report Submission

1. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Employment and Training Administration (ETA) requires all grant recipients to submit the ETA-9130 Financial Report electronically through an on-line reporting system.

2. Recipients are issued a password and a PIN to enable reporting via the on-line reporting system at www.etareports.doleta.gov. Upon accessing the system, detailed on-line reporting instructions are provided.

3. Report submission is a three step process:

1. DATA ENTRY – the Secondary Contact person, designated by the recipient organization, is responsible for entering the required data on the ETA-9130, using the password;

2. DATA CERTIFICATION – the Primary Contact person, the designated authorized official in the recipient organization, is responsible for certifying the accuracy of the data by entering the PIN; and

3. DATA ACCEPTANCE – DOL/ETA is responsible for reviewing the certified ETA-9130, communicating with recipients, as necessary, and accepting the report within 10 working days after report certification. If a modification is required, the certification and acceptance processes must be repeated.

Reporting Requirements

1. Submission of the ETA-9130 is required on a quarterly basis. Reporting quarter end dates shall correspond to the following calendar quarter end dates: March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. A final quarter ETA-9130 is required at the completion of the quarter, encompassing the grant award end date, or at the completion of the quarter in which all funds have been expended, whichever comes first. The final quarter ETA-9130 must be indicated by selecting “YES” in Item 6, Final Report.

2. Quarterly reports, including the final quarter report, are required to be submitted no later than 45 calendar days after the end of each specified reporting period. The reporting due dates are: May 15, August 14, November 14, and February 14. The deadline for ETA-9130s submissions will not change for holidays or weekends. Our e-reporting system is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week and reports can be submitted at any time. Technical support however is available during normal business hours Monday through Friday.

3. A closeout report is required to be submitted no later than 90 calendar days after the grant end date. The closeout report is separate from (and additional to) the final quarter report and becomes accessible on-line after submittal of the final quarter report. (The closeout report does not need to be completed until the grant closeout process begins.)

4. All financial data is required to be reported cumulative from grant inception, through the end of each reporting period. Expenditure data is required to be reported on an accrual basis.

5. A separate ETA-9130 is required for each program and each fund source (subaccount) awarded to a grant recipient.

6. Both cash management and financial status information are required for all reports.

Line Item Number	Reporting/Line Item		Instructions
Cover Information
1	Federal Agency and Organizational Element to Which Report is Submitted		“U.S. Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration.” PRE-ENTERED
2	Federal Grant or Other Identifying Number Assigned by DOL		Grant number assigned for the award by DOL/ETA and contained on the grant award document. Also called Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) under the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200). PRE-ENTERED
3	Recipient Organization		Name and complete address of recipient organization PRE-ENTERED
4a	Unique Entity Identifier		Recipient organization’s Unique Entity Identifier, currently known as the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number or Central Contract Registry extended DUNS number until such time a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) is determined. PRE-ENTERED
4b	EIN		Recipient organization’s Employer Identification Number (EIN). Also known as the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), or the Federal Tax Identification Number, the EIN is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to business entities operating in the United States for the purpose of identification. PRE-ENTERED
5	Recipient Account Number or Identifying Number		Enter the account number or any other identifying number assigned by the recipient to the grant award. This number is strictly for the recipient’s use and is not required by DOL/ETA.
6	Final Report (Yes/No)		Select appropriate box. Check “Yes” only if this is the final quarter report for subject grant subaccount. For grants with multiple subaccounts, each subaccount may be indicated “final” at the time all funds in that subaccount are expended. However, the grant closeout will not occur until after the grant end date
7	Basis of Reporting (Accrual)		ACCRUAL has been pre-entered on all reporting formats. DOL/ETA regulations require that all recipients report expenditures and program income on an accrual basis. For accrual basis reporting, accrued expenditures are recorded when a requirement to pay is established. Note: Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR 2900.14: “In addition to the guidance set forth in 2 CFR 200.327, for Federal awards from the Department of Labor, the DOL awarding agency will prescribe whether the report will be on a cash or an accrual basis. If the DOL awarding agency requires reporting on an accrual basis and the recipient’s accounting system is not on the accrual basis, the recipient will not be required to convert its accounting system, but must develop and report such accrual information through best estimates based on an analysis of the documentation on hand.”
8	Project/Grant Period, From: (MM/DD/YYYY)		The beginning date of the grant award as defined in the grant award document. PRE-ENTERED
	Project/Grant Period, To: (MM/DD/YYYY)		The ending date of the grant award as defined in the grant award document, and the final date for which any accrued expenditures can be incurred under the subject grant award. PRE-ENTERED.
9	Reporting Period End Date: (MM/DD/YYYY)		The last date of the quarter for which cumulative data is provided on the subjectETA-9130. (Required reporting quarter end dates are contained in the “Reporting Requirements” in the first section of these instructions.) PRE-ENTERED
10	Transactions Enter cumulative amounts in the Cumulative Column for each line item requiring data entry, as of the reporting period end date. NOTE: If any line item does NOT require data entry for a particular grant/program, a ZERO must be entered. Line items which will be automatically calculated are grayed out, and no data entry will be permitted by the reporting entity. Cumulative data for the current reporting quarter will become the Previous Period Column in the following quarter. This Period data will be automatically calculated. Use Section 13, Remarks, to provide any information deemed necessary to support/explain data provided in this section.
Federal Cash
10a	Cash Receipts	This amount will be PRE-ENTERED to agree with DOL cumulative quarter-end drawdown records associated with this grant and the specific subaccount identified in Item 2. This is equal to the cumulative drawdowns posted in the Payment Management System (PMS) through the end of the reporting period end date. NOTE: For grant recipients operating on a reimbursement basis, this amount will NOT reflect cash utilized from other fund sources of the recipient organization to pay for subject grant activities, until such funds are drawn down under the subaccount specifically associated with this grant as identified in Item 2.
10b	Cash Disbursements	Enter the cumulative amount of cash disbursed from the cash receipts identified on 10a, as of the reporting period end date. The cash disbursements reported must be all or a portion of the cash receipts reflected on Item 10a. This entry should reflect the sum of actual cash disbursements for direct charges for goods and services, the amount of cash paid out for indirect expenses, and the amount of cash advance payments and payments made to subrecipients and subcontractors. NOTE: Line 10e (Federal Share of Expenditures) will typically be greater than Line 10b due to the inclusion of accruals, for which payment has not been made. If allowable advances made to subrecipients, cause Line 10b to exceed Line 10e, a valid explanation should be provided in Item 13, Remarks. If cumulative entry for this line item is less than previous period cumulative amount, a valid explanation should be provided in Item 13, Remarks.
10c	Cash on Hand (line 10a minus line 10b)	This is an automatic calculation, which is Line 10a (Cash Receipts) minus Line 10b (Cash Disbursements). The cash on hand amount should represent immediate cash needs. An explanation for the excess cash on hand amount should be provided in Section 13, Remarks. NOTE: In accordance with Department of Treasury regulations, federal cash must be drawn solely to accommodate immediate needs.
Federal Expenditures and Unobligated Balance:
10d	Total Federal Funds Authorized	This amount is pre-entered for all grants, except WIA or WIOA formula-funded. This entry should agree with the grant award amount specified in the official grant award document for this subaccount, as identified in Item 2. (Discrepancies must be identified by recipient and corrected, as necessary, by the Grant Officer.)
10e	Federal Share of Expenditures	Enter the cumulative amount of accrued expenditures for allowable costs associated with the funds authorized on Line10d (Total Federal Funds Authorized). DOL/ETA requires reporting on an accrual basis. If the recipient’s accounting system is not on an accrual basis, the recipient will not be required to convert its accounting system, but must develop and report such accrual information through best estimates based on an analysis of the documentation on hand (2 CFR 2900.14). Expenditures for reports prepared on an accrual basis are the sum of: actual cash disbursements specified in Line 10b for direct charges for goods and services; the amount of indirect expenses incurred; net increase or decrease in the amounts owed by the non-Federal entity for goods and property received; and services performed by employees, contractors, subrecipients, and other payees, and programs for which no current services or performance are required such as annuities, insurance claims, or other benefit payments. MINUS any rebates, refunds, or other credits. Unless cash advances have been made to subrecipients or there is a reduction for rebates, refunds, or other credits, this entry will usually be greater than Line 10b (Cash Disbursements) because accruals (goods and services received but not yet paid for) must be included on this line item. Non-Federal entities must liquidate existing cash advances before requesting additional advances (2 CFR 2900.7). In addition, recipients operating on a reimbursement basis must report all accrued expenditures (including cash disbursements for allowable grant activities) in the quarter in which they occur. NOTE: If cumulative entry for this line item is less than previous period cumulative amount, a valid explanation should be provided in Item 13, Remarks.
10f	Total Administrative Expenditures	Enter a zero for this line item. Administrative costs are NOT required to be broken out of total Federal Share of Expenditures reported on line 10e, for ES and UI grants.
10g	Federal Share of Unliquidated Obligations		Enter any obligations incurred, for which an accrued expenditure has not yet been recorded, as of the reporting period end date. Unliquidated obligations should include amounts which will become due to subrecipients and contractors. On the final report, this line item should be zero. The OMB Uniform Guidance defines “Obligation” in 2 CFR 200.71 as follows: “When used in connection with a non-Federal entity’s utilization of funds under a Federal award, obligations means orders placed for property and services, contracts and subawards made, and similar transactions during a given period that require payment by the non-Federal entity during the same or a future period.” Please refer to 2 CFR 200 and 2 CFR 2900 for additional guidance. NOTE: For DOL/ETA grants, the only liquidation that can occur during closeout is the liquidation of accrued expenditures (NOT obligations) for goods and/or services received during the grant period. Do not include any amount on Line 10g that has been reported on Line 10e (Federal Share of Expenditures) or 10f (Total Administrative Expenditures). Do not include any amount on Line 10g for a future commitment of funds/encumbrances (e.g., entire lease, budgeted salary costs) for which an obligation has not yet been incurred.
10h	Total Federal Obligations (sum of lines 10e and 10g)		This is an automatic calculation, which is the sum of Lines 10e (Federal Share of Expenditures) and 10g (Federal Share of Unliquidated Obligations).
10i	Unobligated Balance of Federal Funds (line 10d minus line 10h)		This is an automatic calculation, which is Line 10d (Total Federal Funds Authorized) minus Line Item 10h (Total Federal Obligations).
Recipient Share:
10j	Total Recipient Share Required		Enter the total match requirement, if applicable. A match requirement will be listed in the grant award document and on the SF-424a, Section A, Column F “Non-Federal.” If there is no match requirement, a ZERO must be entered.
10k	Recipient Share of Expenditures		Enter any non-Federal funds expended, by recipient organization, for the purposes or activities of subject grant. Expenditures identified on this line item must be allowable costs which could otherwise have been paid for out of subject grant funds. These expenditures should include both match and other non-Federal leveraged resources. The value of allowable non-Federal in-kind match contributions should also be included. This entry may (and often will) exceed the required match entered on Line 10j (Total Recipient Share Required). NOTE: Non-Federal funds expended for the purposes or activities of the subject grant, which are allowable under the OMB Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200 and 2 CFR 2900), but which are not completely allowable under the subject grant (due to a program specific restriction), should not be reported on this line item, but should be included in the quarterly progress report. Other federal funds expended for the purpose and benefit of this grant should be included in line item 11a (Other Federal Funds Expended).
10l	Remaining Recipient Share to Be Provided (line 10j minus line10k)		This is an automatic calculation, which is Line 10j (Total Recipient Share Required) minus Line 10k (Recipient Share of Expenditures). When the match requirement identified on Line 10j has been met, or if Line 10j is zero, , the value on Line 10l will automatically be set to zero.
Program Income:
10m	Total Program Income Earned		Enter the total amount of program income earned as the result of allowable grant activity. The addition method for recording and reporting program income is required for all ETA programs/grants. For additional reference, program income is defined in the applicable program regulations and in 2 CFR 200.80 and 2 CFR 200.307. Either gross or net program income may be reported. If gross program income is reported, the costs for generating the income should be included on Line 10e (Federal Share of Expenditures). If net program income is reported, the costs for generating the income are subtracted from the total income earned before entering the net amount on 10m. If no program income is earned, a ZERO must be entered.
10n	Program Income Expended in Accordance with the Addition Method		Enter the cumulative amount of accrued expenditures incurred against the program income earned on Line 10m (Total Program Income Earned). NOTE: Program income is to be expended during the same grant period in which it is earned.
10o	Unexpended Program Income (line 10m minus line 10n)		This is an automatic calculation, which is Line10m (Total Program Income Earned) minus 10n (Program Income Expended in Accordance with the Addition Method).
11	Additional Expenditure Data Required
11a	Other Federal Funds Expended		Enter any other Federal funds expended, by the recipient organization and any subrecipient organizations for the same purposes or activities of the subject grant. Expenditures included must be allowable costs which could otherwise have been paid for out of subject grant funds. Other Federal funds expended by any non-subrecipient partner organizations for the benefit of this grant program should be included in the quarterly progress report. This entry should include expenditures of all Federally funded leveraged resources, whether or not such expenditures are the result of a leveraging requirement.
11b	Real Property Proceeds Expended		Enter expenditure of funds resulting from the sale of real property purchased with DOL/ETA ES or UI funds. Further guidance on this requirement can be found in Training and Employment Guidance Letter No. 3-07, Transfer of Federal Equity in State Real Property to the States, dated August 1, 2007. NOTE: This amount should not be included in the amount reported on Line 10e (Federal Share of Expenditures).
12	Indirect Expenditures Complete this information only for indirect expenses incurred by the non-federal entity receiving direct awards from DOL, not for indirect costs incurred by subrecipients. Indirect cost expenditures are only required to be reported annually. Recipients must enter information on lines 12a – 12h for the quarter ending June 30 and reported August 14.
12a	Type of Rate		State whether indirect cost rate(s) is Provisional, Predetermined, Final, Fixed, or DeMinimus.

	Period To		Enter the last date (ending date) on which the approved indirect cost rate was (or is going to be) effective. NOTE: The indirect cost rate period must apply to the Project/Grant Period in line 8 above.
12e	Base		Enter the amount of the base against which the rate(s) was applied, such as modified total direct costs (MTDC).
12f	Amount Charged		Enter the amount of indirect costs charged during the time period specified. Multiply 12b (Rate) x 12e (Base).
12g	Federal Share		Enter the Federal share of the amount in 12f (Amount Charged).
12h	Totals		Enter the totals for 12e (Base), 12f (Amount Charged), and 12g (Federal Share) respectively.
