Without prior approval from FEMA, recipients will approve post-award budget revisions using assistance available due to cost underruns from other approved subawards. This assistance can be moved to approved subawards with cost overruns. Assistance can only be used within the same HMGP or HMGP Post Fire award.
Prior to its approval, the recipient must determine if the project meets eligibility requirements, including cost-effectiveness and cost share. The recipient will update project files with an updated eligibility checklist for project/planning subapplications or equivalent documentation. Recipients may develop and use their own checklists if approved by FEMA. The recipient will update and submit the project summary using electronic data systems provided by FEMA and will update Quarterly Progress Reports accordingly.
Recipients will determine the eligible amount of reimbursement for each subrecipient claim and process payment without FEMA’s approval.
