The linked memorandum below serves as an important reminder regarding your allocation of funds under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

All ARPA funds provided to local governments in Michigan through the federal Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program were required to be obligated by December 31, 2024. Following the obligation of these funds, local governments must also be mindful of the critical reporting requirements and deadlines listed in the ARPA Fund Obligation memorandum.

If you received SLFRF funds, you should have recently received an email notice from the US Treasury indicating their intent to "vigorously monitor recipients’ methods of obligating funds by the December 31, 2024, deadline". This email was sent on or around March 25. It is suggested that you review this information as soon as possible.

Questions about the SLFRF program and reporting should be directed to the U.S. Treasury at SLFRF@treasury.gov. For technical assistance on your submission and other questions related to the US Treasury reporting portal, contact covidreliefitsupport@treasury.gov .
