6105R - Federal Cash and Financial Management

Regulation 6105R
Management Support

The District may draw federal funds using a reimbursement or advance payment method. 

 

I. Reimbursement Payment Method 


For reimbursements of federal funds, the District will: 


A. Monitor the fiscal activity (payments and reimbursements) under each grant on a continuous basis, and request timely reimbursement only for expenditures that have already been disbursed and comply with all applicable award requirements. 

B. Maintain source documentation/accounting records that reconcile to the reimbursement request at a level adequate to establish that funds have not been used in violation of any applicable statutory restrictions or prohibitions. 


C. If the District transfers expenditures previously charged to a federal award for which reimbursement has been claimed to a non-federal fund source, the District will monitor the cash position of the federal award monthly; in the event previously claimed reimbursements exceed the amount of allowable expenditures, calculate the interest earned on the federal funds as necessary - refer to Interest Earned section below. 


II. Advance Payment Method 

 
For advances of federal funds, the District will: 

 
A. Monitor the fiscal activity (drawdowns and payments) under each grant on a continuous basis and maintain source documentation/accounting records at a level adequate to establish that funds have not been used in violation of any applicable statutory restrictions or prohibitions. 

B. To the extent available, disburse funds available from program income, rebates, refunds, contract settlements, audit recoveries, and interest earned on such funds before requesting additional cash payments. 

C. Plan for cash flow in the grant project during the budget period and review project cash requirements before each drawdown. 

D. Draw down only the amount of funds necessary to meet the immediate needs of the program/project (including the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs), and minimize the time between receiving and disbursing those funds. 


E. Pay out federal funds for expenditures that comply with all applicable grant requirements as soon as administratively feasible (a general rule of thumb is no more than three business days after receiving the funds). 

F. Deposit advance payments into insured accounts whenever possible. Unless conditions listed in CFR Title 2 Part 200 Subpart D §200.305(b)(8) apply, the District will maintain advance payments in interest-bearing accounts. 

G. Remit interest earned over $500 annually – refer to Interest Earned section below. 

 
III. Interest Earned 

The District may retain interest earned amounts up to $500 per year for administrative expenses. 

A. Any additional interest earned on those funds will be remitted annually to the applicable cognizant federal agency.

B. The District will refer to the federal or pass-through agency for pertinent information about the remittance.
