Federal financial assistance does not include direct federal cash assistance to individuals. Direct Payments. Assistance received directly from the Federal government is classified as direct payments on the Schedule. Pass-through Payments. Assistance received in a pass-through relationship from entities other than the Federal government is classified as pass-through payments on the Schedule. Major Programs. The Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and Uniform Guidance establish the criteria to be used in defining major programs.
