Final Obligation Reporting Requirements. An Obligation Report, based on annual guidelines, must be submitted by the due date using the format provided by the Department through MI E-Grants. The Grantee must provide, by program, an estimate of total expenditures for the entire Agreement period (October 1 through September 30). This report must represent the Grantee’s best estimate of total program expenditures for the Agreement period. The information on the report will be used to record the Department’s year-end accounts payables and receivables by program for this Agreement. The report assists the Department in reserving sufficient funding to reimburse the final expenditures that will be reported on the Final FSR without materially overstating or understating the year-end obligations for this Agreement. The Department compares the total estimated expenditures from this report to the total amount reimbursed to the Grantee in the monthly prepayments and quarterly fee-for-service payments to establish accounts payable and accounts receivable entries at fiscal year-end. The Department recognizes that based upon payment adjustments and timing of Agreement amendments, the Grantee may owe the Department funding for overpayment of a program and may be due funds from the Department for underpayment of a program at fiscal year-end. Within 60 days after the Agreement fiscal year-end, the Grantee must liquidate any unpaid year-end commitments and obligations. Any obligation remaining unliquidated after 60 days from the end of the Agreement period will revert to the Department for disposition in accordance with applicable state and/or federal requirements, except as specifically authorized in writing by the Department.
