Abstract: The EAC Office of Grants Management (EAC/OGM) is responsible for distributing, monitoring, and providing technical assistance to states and grantees on the use of federal HAVA funds. EAC/OGM also reports on how the funds are spent, negotiates indirect cost rates with grantees, and resolves audit findings on the use of HAVA funds. The EAC Office of Grants Management (EAC/OGM) is responsible for awarding, distributing, monitoring, and providing technical assistance to states and grantees on the use of federal funds. EAC/OGM also reports on how the funds are spent, negotiates indirect cost rates with grantees, and resolves audit findings on the use of HAVA funds. The EAC-BEW is to be employed for all grants issued under HAVA authority. The EAC-BEW will directly benefit award recipients by making it easier for them to monitor budgets and expenses on their federal grant and cooperative agreement programs through standardization of the types of information found in the worksheet- thereby reducing their administrative effort and costs. The population for the data collection is the 56 states and territories (EAC grantees) receiving HAVA grants. The recipients of this funding are finite. EAC will email grantees notice of where to access the required forms and guidance on our website for easy location and access. EAC will also offer technical assistance as requested in completing and submitting financial reporting.
