SIMPLIFIED INSTRUCTIONS

FOR TIMELY OBLIGATION OF FY 2019 LIHEAP FUNDS

AND REPORTING FUNDS FOR CARRYOVER AND REALLOTMENT

1. Add together the funds you received from HHS in FY 2019 in the form of LIHEAP block grant awards, any reallotted FY 2017 funds awarded in FY 2019, and any oil overcharge funds designated for use in LIHEAP for FY 2019. No emergency contingency funds were awarded in 2019. You may carry over up to 10% of this total for obligation in FY 2020.

2. At least 90% of the total funds available to you in FY 2019, as calculated in Paragraph

#1, must be obligated by you for use in LIHEAP no later than September 30, 2019, which is the end of FFY 2019. (Please note that this requirement applies to obligation only, not expenditure of funds.)

3. No more than 10% of the funds available to you for FY 2019, as calculated in Paragraph

#1, may be carried over for obligation in FY 2020. You must obligate these carryover funds for use in LIHEAP no later than September 30, 2020, or they must be returned to HHS.

4. FY 2019 funds that are not obligated by you by September 30, 2019, and that exceed 10% of the total as calculated in Paragraph #1, must be returned to HHS, which will reallocate them to LIHEAP grantees in FY 2020.

5. Your estimated Carryover and Reallotment Report is due by August 1, 2019 via the Grant Solutions/On-Line Data Collection System (OLDC) at: http://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/. Include a brief explanation of why you want to carry over the funds and how you will use them.

6. If your estimates need to be updated, you must submit a revised, final report by December 15, 2019. ACF will accept adjustments after this date, if necessary, but ideally all updates will be known and reported to us by the December 15^th deadline. Grantees must take reasonable steps to mitigate the risk of returned federal LIHEAP funding well beyond this timeframe.

Please note that Line 1 (total amount payable to you for FFY 2019) of the report will be prepopulated. However you will still need to enter required data in other lines. If you have already submitted a report in OLDC, your LIHEAP Federal Liaison will accept or reject the report for the OLDC enhancement to go into effect. The following conditions will apply depending on the status of your report:

• If the report is in “Saved – Validated” status: you will need to Re-Save or Re- Validate the report.

• If the report is in “Certified” status: you will need to Un-Certify and then Re- Validate and Certify the Report for Submission.
