Treasury, SLFRF Reporting How To Guide
Summary
Treasury's slide guide to filing Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) reports in the Treasury Portal. It walks through account access with Login.gov credentials, viewing reports, creating a new project, entering project data, Revenue Replacement EC6 certification, the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) and Alternative Compliance Examination Engagement (ACEE), submission and common errors. It notes that only the 2025 report can be modified, that reports Treasury closed because they were not submitted by the deadline are marked administratively closed, and that closeout requires an active SAM.gov registration. A note says funds not obligated by the December 31, 2024 deadline must be returned to Treasury.

Are revenue loss funds automatically obligated?
• NO. See FAQ 17.15 in SLFRF FAQs
• All SLFRF funds under any eligible use category are subject to the
obligation requirements – including funds used under the revenue loss
category
• Neither electing the standard allowance, nor reporting calculated
revenue loss, establishes an obligation for those funds
• Recipients must report revenue loss projects to Treasury through a two-
step process
• Revenue Replacement Category has no requirement for subrecipients,
subawards or expenditures for EC 6 projects. All other Expenditure
Categories do have this requirement

How do I report revenue loss projects as obligated?
STEP ONE: Report claimed revenue loss. Elect up to the $10 million Standard Allowance
or calculate revenue loss according to formula in 2022 Final Rule.
STEP TWO: Report projects under Expenditure Category 6 (EC6).
1. Create one or more project(s) at the Project Overview section of the report.
2. Select EC 6 and complete the required information, including project(s) description.
You can enter multiple projects if needed. Ensure the sum of amounts reported under
EC 6 projects match the total amount reported in the "Recipient Specific" section of
the report for revenue loss due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The project or projects must include:
• Amount of SLFRF funds budgeted (if applicable), obligated, and
expended for that specific project
• Project description that summarize the project(s) in sufficient detail to
provide an understanding of the major activities that will occur
Note: If the project is reported under a different expenditure category,
QR Code to

Explainer Video
use category (EC 6), and the project will be subject to the detailed
programmatic requirements associated with the other expenditure category.

Submitted Report Error: Failure to Report Revenue Loss Obligations
Error: Total reported
obligations listed as $0
Recipients must also complete Step Two.
As with any other SLFRF funds, they must
obligate funds to be used under the
revenue loss eligible use category. And
they must report those obligations to
Treasury through reporting an individual
project or projects in Expenditure
Category 6.
The total amount recipients report as

obligated is the sum of the obligations

Revenue Replacement: $10M or greater total allocation
NOTE ON STANDARD
ALLOWANCE: For recipients
electing the “Standard
Allowance,” Treasury will
presume that up to $10
million in revenue, not to exceed
the award allocation, has been
lost due to the public health
emergency and recipients are
permitted to use that amount to
fund “government services.” See
pp. 52 of the Project &
Expenditure Report User Guide
for more information.

Certification: Note Any Remaining Funding of Allocation Amount
To address any incomplete boxes, review
individual project information and ensure
all are complete and green on the top
“Project overview status" box.
NOTE #1 ON ALLOCATION: Recipients should review
their total allocation and ensure the sum of their
projects does not exceed it. Cases where projects
exceed total allocation is a common error, and if
this is the case, recipients may have to edit the
project(s)' total cumulative obligations and/or
expenditures.
NOTE #2 ON ALLOCATION: NEUs with questions on allocations or funding distribution should contact their respective state government. All disbursed amounts for
NEUs are reflected as the allocation amounts in the portal and are based on state-reported distribution data provided to Treasury as part of the state interim report.

must be requested via SLFRF@Treasury.gov.
That didn’t work. I still need help!

Common Errors: Reporting Program Income
Error: I am entering a new project. What do I put for “Program Income”?
Action: You don’t need to put anything in the “Program Income” boxes if it does not
apply to your project. Review the definition of Program Income in FAQ 13.11 and 17.21:
“Per 2 CFR 200.307, Treasury is specifying here that recipients may add program income to the Federal award. Any program
income generated from SLFRF funds must be used for the purposes and under the conditions of the Federal award.
Program income includes but is not limited to income from fees for services performed, the use or rental of real or personal
property acquired under federal awards, the sale of commodities or items fabricated under a federal award, license fees
and royalties on patents and copyrights, and principal and interest on loans made with federal award funds. Interest
earned on advances of federal funds is not program income. For more information on what constitutes “Program Income”
please see 2 CFR 200.1.”

27
Common Errors: Reporting Projects
Error: I need to move my project boxes from yellow to green.
Action: This can be due to a variety of issues. One common error is that the sum of dollars
obligated or expended in your projects is over your total allocation amount. Please verify if
this is the case, and if so, you may need to adjust one of your projects by reducing the total
adopted budget, total cumulative obligations, and total cumulative expenditures for one of
the projects to reduce by the amount necessary to ensure the sum of dollars obligated or
expended in your projects is equal to the total allocated amount. Another common error is
that there is no entry in the required Current Period Obligation or Expenditure boxes.
