Subject: FY19 IDEA Grants Available To Request Reimbursement
Please be advised that all FY 2019 IDEA Part B Flow Through and Preschool initial applications approved by the Division of Special Education have been moved forward from the electronic Grants Management System into the Financial Reimbursement Information System. Grantees may now submit expenditure reports for either grant program and begin to request funds for reimbursement. Any carryover computed from final FY 2018 expenditure reports has also been moved forward allowing grantees to amend FY 2019 grants for the additional funds.
As a reminder, all federal expenditure reports must be submitted on a cumulative (i.e., year-to-date), cash basis accounting method (i.e., expenses are recognized when they are paid). As grantees report cumulative cash basis expenditures via the Electronic Expenditure Reporting system, ISBE will reimburse the expenditures accordingly on a weekly basis. Any report submitted through Tuesday evening will be loaded and vouchered on Wednesday. Grantees that submit expenditures only under this traditional reimbursement method can submit as frequent as weekly, but at a minimum, quarterly. Reporting and due dates are provided below.
