AUTHORIZED EXPENDITURES Only expenditures which are detailed in the approved budget of the grant application, a revised budget, or an amended budget approved by the OAG are eligible for reimbursement with grant funds. Any requested modification to the budget must be submitted by the Provider in writing to the OAG and will require prior approval by the OAG. Budget modification approval is at the sole discretion of the OAG. Any grant funds reimbursed under this Agreement must be used in accordance with the rules implementing the provisions of VOCA, 34 U.S.C. § 20103, Crime Control and Law Enforcement, 28 C.F.R. §§94.101 through 94.122, the federal government-wide grant rules as set forth in the 2 C.F.R. § 200, and the U.S. Department of Justice, (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs, DOJ Grants Financial Guide, (Financial Guide), and any other regulations or guidelines currently or subsequently required by the U.S. Department of Justice and state or federal laws. Expenditures for the acquisition and maintenance of telephones and equipment will be proportional to the percentage of VOCA grant funded staff who utilize the telephones and equipment, as contemplated by this Agreement. Grant funds cannot be used as a revenue generating source and crime victims cannot be charged either directly or indirectly for services reimbursed with grant funds. Third party payers such as insurance companies, victim compensation, Medicare or Medicaid may not be billed for services provided by grant funded personnel to clients. Grant funds must be used to provide services to all crime victims, regardless of their financial resources or availability of insurance or third-party reimbursements. Travel expenses will be reimbursed with grant funds only in accordance with section 112.061, Florida Statutes. Expenditures of state financial assistance must be in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to expenditures of state funds, including, but not limited to, the Florida Reference Guide for State Expenditures. Only allowable costs resulting from obligations incurred during the term of this Agreement are eligible for reimbursement, and any balances of unobligated cash that have been advanced or paid that are not authorized to be retained for direct program costs in a subsequent period must be refunded to the OAG. Any funds paid in excess of the amount to which the Provider is entitled under the terms of this Agreement must be refunded to the OAG. The Provider will reimburse the OAG for all unauthorized expenditures and the Provider will not use grant funds for any expenditures made by the Provider prior to the execution of this Agreement or after the termination date of this Agreement.

The Provider will use the lowest quote for the purchase.
