Cost Limitation Restrictions.
a. Budget Flexibility Federal recipients are not permitted to make transfers that would cause any funds to be used for purposes other than those consistent with this Federal program. Any budget changes that impact the Statement of Work and agreed upon outcomes or deliverables require a request for modification and prior approval from the Grant Officer. As directed in 2 CFR 200.308(e), for programs where the Federal share is over the simplified acquisition threshold (currently $250,000), the transfer of funds among direct cost categories or programs, functions and activities is restricted such that if the cumulative amount of such transfers exceeds or is expected to exceed 10 percent of the total budget as last approved by the Federal awarding agency, the recipient must receive prior approval from the Grant Officer. Any changes within a specific cost category on the SF424(a) do not require a grant modification unless the change results in a cumulative transfer among direct cost categories exceeding 10% of total budget as noted above. It is recommended that your assigned FPO review any within- line changes to your budget prior to implementation to ensure they do not require a modification. For programs where the Federal share is below the simplified acquisition threshold, recipients are not required to obtain the Grant Officer’s approval when transferring funds among direct cost categories. This includes transferring direct costs to the indirect cost category contained on the SF424 (a).
Cost Limitation Restrictions.
a. Administrative Costs Administrative costs are defined in the WIOA at 20 CFR 683.215. Limitations on administrative costs are described at 20 CFR 683.205.

Any amounts that exceed these limitations will be disallowed and subject to debt collection.

a. Single Audit Submission Deadline Extension Related to COVID-19 In OMB Memorandum M-20-17, OMB offered an extension of Single Audit submission deadlines for fiscal years ending June 30, 2020 to allow recipients and subrecipients a responsible transition to normal operations. This flexibility was extended through December 31, 2020 by OMB Memorandum 20-26. In OMB Memorandum M-21-20, Appendix 3, Item IX, OMB has offered an additional extension of Single Audit submission deadlines for fiscal years ending June 30, 2021. Award recipients and subrecipients that have not yet filed their single audits with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse as of March 19, 2021 that have fiscal year-ends through June 30, 2021 may delay the completion and submission of the Single Audit reporting package, as required under 2 CFR § 200.501 (Audit Requirements), to six (6) months beyond the normal due date. This extension does not require individual recipients and subrecipients to seek approval for the extension by the cognizant or oversight agency for audit; however, recipients and subrecipients should maintain documentation of the reason for the delayed filing.

a. Administrative Costs In FY 2020, administrative costs for the RESEA program are limited to 15 percent of the total grant award. This limitation aligns RESEA administrative costs with similar ETA grants and includes information technology costs. States may request to use up to an additional $100,000 beyond the 15 percent administrative cost limit to support information technology and program costs, including required reporting. States requesting additional funds beyond the 15 percent administrative costs limit must identify the amount and describe planned activities in element 8 of the RESEA State Plan template. Administrative costs could be direct or indirect costs. Administrative costs do not need to be identified separately from program costs on the SF-424A Budget Information – Non Construction Programs. However, they must be tracked through the recipient’s accounting system and appropriately documented on the recipient’s ETA 9130 Financial Report submissions. Recipients will be monitored for compliance with the administrative costs limit during the entire grant period of performance. Any amounts that exceed this limitation at closeout will be disallowed and subject to debt collection. To help facilitate program alignment and integration across programs supporting the reemployment of UI claimants, ETA uses the definition of WIOA administrative costs at 20 CFR 683.215 for RESEA grants. In the context of the RESEA program, all information technology costs associated with the RESEA program, including those identified at 20 CFR 683.215, are administrative costs. Additional information will be provided in the state’sgrant agreement.
