The Honorable Kathy Hochul
Governor of New York State
NYS State Capitol Building
Albany, NY 12224
Dear Governor Hochul:
I write in response to New York’s request for additional time to liquidate obligations for the
American Rescue Plan Act’s Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (ARP EANS)
program, Grant Award S425V210049. Specifically, New York’s September 5, 2024, liquidation
extension request specifies the need for additional time to liquidate $203,217,132.00 of ARP
EANS funds after the period for liquidation under 2 C.F.R. § 200.344(b) expires. After careful
review, I have determined that New York’s request provides sufficient justification and
documentation for an extension to the period of liquidation for ARP EANS funds and grant the
extension through March 28, 2026.
This approval is granted with the condition that the funds drawn down in the G6 system from
Grant Award S425V210049 be used only to liquidate obligations incurred by September 30,
2024, and support costs that were allowable under laws and regulations in effect during that
period. Any drawdowns during this extension period require approval from the U.S, Department
of Education’s (Department’s) program office. New York must email the Department’s Office of
State and Grantee Relations through the State’s mailbox (i.e., NewYork.OESE@ed.gov),
detailing the amount of funds approved for late liquidation that the State requests to draw down.
Thank you for your work to implement the ARP EANS program, including this request to help
ensure that all possible resources are available to meet the academic and mental health needs of
New York’s students and educators. If you have any questions about this approval, please
contact the Department at NewYork.OESE@ed.gov.
Sincerely,
Adam Schott
