The following email was sent by Treasury on Monday, April 18, 2022:

Dear SLFRF Reporting Representative:

[Please ignore this email if you have already completed the 3 steps below]

As a Non-Entitlement Unit of Local Government (NEU), there are three tasks requiring your immediate action to meet the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) reporting requirements.

97% of SLFRF recipients with a January reporting deadline completed the process on time. Do not be one of the few to fail to complete the April report on time!

You must complete the following by April 30:

1. Register and sign up for Treasury’s portal
   1. New users should register for Treasury’s portal at login.gov and sign up at https://portal.treasury.gov/compliance
   2. Users who have registered through ID.me can sign up at https://portal.treasury.gov/cares/s/slt
2. Confirm your roles and submit supporting documents
   All users should log into the portal, confirm their roles, and submit copies of their NEU Agreements and Supporting documents that were signed and submitted to the state or territory as part of the initial request for funding (see step by step webinar).
3. Submit the Project and Expenditure Report
   All users should complete the April Project and Expenditure Report available at the same portal link. Users can reference the accompanying User Guide and step by step webinar for additional information.

More detailed information is provided below – please review this carefully. The three tasks above represent the most urgent items for your attention.

As noted above, this email is a reminder of your current reporting requirements.

You are required to submit copies of both the NEU Agreement and Supporting Documents and Project and Expenditure Report (Compliance Reports) by April 30, 2022. Your jurisdiction is highly encouraged to begin completing this compliance reporting as early as possible to avoid delays and address any technical challenges in advance of the reporting deadline. As noted in the User Guide, submissions received after the reporting deadline will be considered as late and a record of late reporting could lead to a finding of non-compliance.

If you believe you have received this email by mistake, in particular if you are a NEU that has declined funding or have not coordinated with your state in regard to your funding, please email us at SLFRP@treasury.gov. In such cases, you are not required to take action on confirming your reporting roles and providing the additional documentation.

What to do to submit your reports:

There are certain steps that you need to perform prior to submitting your compliance reports.

1. Register and sign up for Treasury’s portal

To access Treasury’s portal for the first time and be designated for any reporting roles, new users must first register with Login.gov. New users should use the following link: https://portal.treasury.gov/compliance.

Users who have previously registered through ID.me may continue to access Treasury’s Portal through that method. The following link should be used if you have already registered through ID.me https://portal.treasury.gov/cares/s/slt. Note, using ID.me is NOT a requirement for reporting.

If you have not previously registered with ID.me, you should register through Login.gov.

2. Confirm your roles.

After your account has been created and verified, you will be redirected to Treasury’s reporting portal to log in and confirm your roles. For best site performance, it is recommended that you use Google Chrome.

As part of the SLFRF award administration, each SLFRF recipient must designate individuals to serve as its official points of contact for SLFRF reporting to Treasury. As a recipient you will need to designate individual(s) in your organization for each of the following three roles:

1. Account Administrator;
2. Point of Contact for Reporting;
3. Authorized Representative for Reporting.

Section I of the User Guide provides additional details as to how to designate roles. Please note that the Account Administrator for the NEU will be the point of contact provided by your state or territory.

3. Submit required materials

You should submit copies of your NEU Agreements and Supporting Documents and Project and Expenditure Report by the reporting deadline of April 30, 2022.

All reports must be submitted through the reporting portal via the following link:

1. If using Login.gov – https://portal.treasury.gov/compliance
2. If using ID.me – https://portal.treasury.gov/cares/s/slt [Note: ID.me is NOT required]

The best sources of information on how to submit compliance reports are:

1. NEU Agreements and Supporting Documents User Guide (NEU Guide) with step-by-step instructions on setting accounts, assigning reporting roles, and providing required documentation to Treasury.
2. Project and Expenditure Report User Guide (P&E User Guide) with step-by-step instructions for submitting the report. This user guide also includes a frequently asked questions section to address common reporting concerns.

Step-by-Step Recorded Webinars:

Treasury also posted a series of webinars to assist with reporting:

1. NEU Intro to Reporting: Account Creation, Roles, and Agreements/Supporting Docs Submission (NEU specific)
2. Project and Expenditure Report: Reporting under Revenue Replacement
3. Account Creation and Login: Creation of account in Treasury’s Portal through ID.mevor login.gov

April Project and Expenditure Report: What to do if you have no projects to report:

If your jurisdiction has not yet identified any projects to report, please know that Treasury encourages recipients to identify projects as soon as possible for your jurisdiction’s uses of SLFRF funds. For the Project and Expenditure Report due April 30, 2022 Treasury will be offering an option to select “No Projects to Report” at this time. Selecting this option will require providing a written explanation and may result in additional follow-up from Treasury.

Please see the User Guide for additional guidance; information will also be provided in the Project Overview module of the Project and Expenditure Report.
