VETS-403 - Jobs for Veterans State Grant Technical Performance Narrative Instructions


Form Use:

The Jobs for Veterans State Grant (JVSG) Technical Performance Narrative (TPN) is used to report quarterly fiscal, staffing and performance data to assure grantees are performing in accordance with their approved annual plan. The detailed information required is used to monitor planned versus actual ratios of Personal Services + Personnel Benefits (PS+PB)/Total Ratio, and track recommendations for reallocation of funds. The form also helps evaluate performance goals versus actual results related to the primary performance indicators for JVSG funded services. Some cells which contain formulas and other cells which do not have been locked to reduce the reporting burden and facilitate form completion.

The form is submitted once per quarter for every fiscal year quarter in which the grant funds are allocated, obligated or liquidated. The following report period end dates will be used for quarterly reports: 12/31, 3/31, 6/30, and 9/30. The TPN is due 30 days after the end of the reporting period: 1/30, 4/30, 7/30, and 10/30 corresponding to the submission timeframe of the Expenditure Detail Report (EDR).
