Submitting Final/Progress Reports Through the UES

OMB Control Number (0551-0048)
Expiration Date:

Log into the UES. From the Reports In drop-down, select the EMP/TASC/QSP Report option.

FOR EMP
Be aware that only 85% of the approved
budget is available until the final report
is entered into the UES and approved by
FAS. This means that any claim exceeding
85% of the approved budget will not be
honored until the final report is in the
system and approved by FAS. Once the
final report is approved the remaining 15%
of the funds can be claimed. So, it is best
that you input the final report for approval
and allow some time for submitting the final
claim after the report is approved. Don’t
submit the final report and the final
claim at the same time.

Enter the
appropriate
information
in the
required
fields to
submit your
EMP, QSP or
TASC report.
Make sure to
select the
appropriate
report type:
Progress or
Final. Click
once on the
Add New
button.
