BUDGET LINE ITEM FLEXIBILITY a) Line Item Adjustment(s). Subject to the prior review and approval of the State’s Project Manager, adjustments between existing line item(s) may be used to defray allowable direct costs up to twenty percent (20%) of the Grant Amount, including any amendment(s) thereto. A line item adjustment in excess of twenty percent (20%) or the cumulative total of line item adjustments that exceed $200,000 shall require a formal Agreement amendment. If the Line Item Budget includes an amount for Personnel Services, that amount is based on the hours, classifications, and rates submitted by the Grantee in its application. Any changes to the hours, classifications, and rates must be approved, in advance and in writing, by the State’s Program Manager.
BUDGET LINE ITEM FLEXIBILITY. Flexibility is allowed within the grant budget (except wages, salaries and fringe benefits, and indirect cost rates), provided no single line item is increased or decreased by more than 20%. Changes in excess of 20% and any changes in wages, salaries and fringe benefits, and indirect cost rates MUST receive prior written approval from the Grant Officer. Any changes in mix or match within the wages and salaries line do not require a grant modification. However, your assigned DOL Federal Project Officer (FPO) must review these changes prior to implementing these changes. Failure to obtain such prior written approval may result in cost disallowance.
BUDGET LINE ITEM FLEXIBILITY. Budget Line Item Flexibility applies separately to each fund shown within the budget.
