Key Takeaways

On August 31, both the Interim Report and the Recovery Plan Performance Report are due to the U.S. Treasury Department.

Counties that receive funding from the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund are required to meet compliance and reporting responsibilities. On August 31, both the Interim Report and the Recovery Plan Performance Report are due to the U.S. Treasury Department.

The Interim Report must be completed by all counties that have certified for Recovery Funds. However, counties that did not receive Recovery Funds until after July 15, 2021, may submit an Interim Report within 60 days of receiving funds. Additionally, the Recovery Plan Performance Report must be completed by counties that have a population of 250,000 and above. Treasury released a user guide, which includes step-by-step guidance for submitting the required reports using Treasury’s Portal. Counties can submit their reports through Treasury’s Submission Portal

Other helpful resources include:

  • Additions to the Frequently Asked Questions about eligible expenditures on Treasury’s webpage. Treasury has not yet released the Final Rule for the Recovery Fund, but NACo members should reference the Interim Final Rule for any expense eligibility question.
  • Treasury resources include a Recovery Plan template, which details required information for the Recovery Plan Performance Report, and webinar recordings geared towards specific recipient groups.

NACo is in close communication with Treasury officials about specific requirements included in both reports. View NACo's updated FAQ document or ask our experts a question.
