ARPA Project and Expenditure Report due April 30

Counties are required to make a one-time decision on this report to either take the $10 million revenue loss standard allowance or calculate revenue loss. 

If your county is having an issue or are unable to submit your P&E Report, email both SLFRF@treasury.gov and covidreliefitsupport@treasury.gov and cc: questions@naco.org with a description and screenshot of what the problem is. Treasury is experiencing a high volume of messages about problems from recipients so there may be a delay in their response. Save or screenshot a date stamped email of your messages to Treasury. 

Treasury has stated that if your county has sent an email to Treasury outlining why you are unable to submit your P&E Report, you will not be penalized if you submit after April 30, 2022, if your problem is not addressed prior to that date.
