Finding Details

2022-001 COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Federal Assistance Listing No. 93.498 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Period 3 and Period 4 Expenditures Criteria or Specific Requirement: Activities Allowed/Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles (Pub. L. No. 116-136, 134 Stat. 563 and Pub. L. No. 116-139, 134 Stat. 622 and 623) Condition: The Authority is required to prepare and submit period three and period four Provider Relief Fund (PRF) reporting. This report is to be prepared using accurate financial information and submitted by the deadline established. Questioned Costs: $358,571; the amount of expenses reported that did not have support.
