Non-federal entities must record expenditures on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) when (1) FEMA has approved the nonfederal entity’s project worksheet (PW), and (2) the nonfederal entity has incurred the eligible expenditures. Federal awards expended in years subsequent to the fiscal year in which the PW is approved are to be recorded on the nonfederal entity’s SEFA in those subsequent years.
