VETS-401 - Jobs for Veterans State Grant Budget Information Summary Instructions

Form Use:

The Jobs for Veterans State Grant (JVSG) Budget Information Summary is initially used when applying for the formula level of funds available for the Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program (DVOP) specialist positions, Local Veterans’ Employment Representative (LVER) staff, Consolidated (DVOP/LVER) positions, and Incentive Award Funds. The form may be updated throughout the Fiscal Year (FY) as necessary. Funding requests from state recipients must summarize how the formula allocated funding and any additional funding will be budgeted by object class category and by quarter. Some cells which contain formulas and other cells which do not have been locked to reduce the reporting burden and facilitate form completion.

Form Submission:

Submission of the form is an annual requirement. Additionally, recipients are required to submit an amended VETS-401 form when separately requesting additional funds for a special initiative; to change the total allocation of JVSG funding; and/or for changes to the amounts budgeted for each object class category.
