This document provides information for Non-entitlement units of local government (NEUs) and
units of general local government within counties that are not units of general local government
(Non-UGLG) on using Treasury’s Portal to submit the information required under the
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) Compliance and Reporting

Each NEU and Non-UGLG is required to provide the following information once their accounts
are established in Treasury’s Portal and prior to the due date of their first annual Project and
Expenditure Report, which is April 30, 2022:

(which was signed and submitted to the State or U.S. territory as part of the request for
funding); and
Copy of actual budget documents validating the top-line budget total provided to the State
or U.S. territory as part of the request for funding.

with current performance and financial information including background information about the
SLFRF projects that are the subjects of the reports; and financial information with details about
obligations, expenditures, direct payments, and subawards. Additional details for submitting this
information will be included in a separate Project and Expenditure Report user guide.

II. NEU Account Setup- Designating SLFRF Points of Contact
This section provides a brief instruction for SLFRF Account Administrators on accessing
Treasury’s Portal and providing the names and contact information of individuals to be
designated as your organization’s points of contact for SLFRF reporting.
SLFRF recipients are required to designate staff or officials for the following three roles in
managing reports for their SLFRF award. Recipients must make the required designations prior
to accessing Treasury’s Portal to submit report. The required roles are as follows:
•

Account Administrator for the SLFRF award has the administrative role of maintaining the
names and contact information of the designated individuals for SLFRF reporting. The
Account Administrator is also responsible for working within your organization to determine
its designees for the roles of Point of Contact for Reporting and Authorized Representative
for Reporting and providing their names and contact information via Treasury’s Portal.
Finally, the Account Administrator is responsible for making any changes or updates to the
user roles as needed over the award period. We recommend that the Account Administrator
identify an individual to serve in his/her place in the event of staff changes. Please note, for
NEUs, the point of contact initially provided to their State for determining eligibility will
automatically be designated as an Account Administrator.

•

Point of Contact for Reporting is the primary contact for receiving official Treasury
notifications about reporting on the SLFRF award, including alerts about upcoming
reporting, requirements, and deadlines. The Point of Contact for Reporting is responsible for
completing the SLFRF reports.

•

Authorized Representative for Reporting is responsible for certifying and submitting
official reports on behalf of the SLFRF recipient. Treasury will accept reports or other official
communications only when submitted by the Authorized Representative for Reporting. The
Authorized Representative for Reporting is also responsible for communications with
Treasury on such matters as extension requests and amendments of previously submitted
reports. The official reports may include special reports, quarterly reports, interim reports,
and final reports.

Some key items to note:
•

•

To access Treasury’s Portal for the first time and be designated for any roles, users
must first register with Login.gov.
Users who have previously registered through ID.me may continue to access Treasury’s
Portal through that method. Refer to this link for additional instructions.
If you have not previously registered with ID.me, you should register through Login.gov
following this link. The following links provide additional information:
o https://login.gov/create-an-account/
o https://login.gov/help/get-started/create-your-account/
An individual may be designated for multiple roles. For example, the individual
designated as the Point of Contact for Reporting may also be designated as the
Authorized Representative for Reporting.
The recipient may designate one individual for all three roles.

Multiple individuals can be designated for each role.
An organization may make changes and updates to the list of designation individuals
whenever needed. These changes must be processed by the Account Administrator.

For NEUs and Non-UGLGs, Treasury will assign as the Account Administrator the point of
contact (POC) provided by the State or U.S. territory when the NEU and Non-UGLG information
was provided to Treasury. The Account Administrator is responsible of designating the three
roles to manage the reporting requirements for the program.
In the event a change is needed to the Account Administrator designation, the individual
currently assigned to that role should process the change in Treasury’s Portal, following the
instructions below.
