On August 30, the U.S. Treasury Department issued the following update on calculating revenue in the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund reporting portal:

Treasury Update on Calculating Revenue

Treasury understands that some entities have not yet completed their revenue replacement calculations. In order to complete the Interim Report under these circumstances you can use the best available estimate (or put zero if no estimate is available) in the required revenue replacement fields for now. You can also use the text field to explain that your government is still determining the revenue replacement amount and how it will be spent.

You will have an opportunity to update it in subsequent reporting and Treasury will not interpret zero in the Interim Report as final.

Recovery Fund Reports Due August 31

Counties that receive funding from the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund are required to meet compliance and reporting responsibilities. Tuesday, 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. Additionally, the Recovery Plan Performance Report must be completed by counties that have a population of 250,000 and above.
