Department Oversight of Approved Requests
Drawdown Monitoring
• Grantees are placed on route payment during the period of extension.
• Grantees must submit a summary of entities to be reimbursed associated with each drawdown
during the period of extension.
• SGR monitors each drawdown against the grantee’s approved request before approving a payment to
ensure that:
• Funds associated with a specific subrecipient are available consistent with the approved
amounts requested for extension;
• A drawdown is only for funds/subrecipients included in the approved extension, and;
• An amendment to the grantee’s request isn’t needed.
Formal Reviews
• Ongoing data verification and review of grantee oversight activities at least twice during implementation.
• Monitoring of the grantee’s process for seeking an extension, subrecipient monitoring, and request
closeout activities, in addition to formally reviewing status of liquidations to date.
• Monitoring includes a review of grantee reimbursement request packages, and associated
documentation, from subrecipients and internal processes for approving grantee drawdowns for their
own use of funds.
