UPDATE: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has issued a notice today (January 29, 2025) rescinding its previous memo that called for a temporary pause on agency grant, loan, and other financial assistance programs. This action follows an administrative stay from a U.S. District Court on the memo issued January 27, 2025, which was set to last until Monday, February 3, 2025.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this pause may have caused. We truly appreciate your patience as we continue to assess how the initial freeze has impacted the Department of Education's federal grant programs. At this time believe the impact is quite small.  Thank you for your understanding during this time of transition. We will provide an additional update when we have more information. 

The second quarter reimbursement requests are due January 31. Reimbursement requests submitted after 1/31 are considered late and the grantee non-compliant.
To ensure reimbursements are processed efficiently, please verify the following information before attempting to submit.

1.        Verify your current application is in approved status.
2.        Confirm whether a budget revision is needed.
3.        Confirm the first quarter reimbursement has been approved 
4.        Follow up if the 1st quarter reimbursement has been returned not approved.

Note: The first quarter reimbursement must be approved by DEED before the second quarter reimbursement can be submitted. Early submission of quarterly reimbursements is encouraged and helps the grant administrator proactively manage workload.  We strive to pay grantees within 14 working days of reimbursement request.

If there are any questions, please contact a Grant Administrator for assistance.
