Part A Unobligated Balance Flow-chart

   

Part A Unobligated Balance Flow-chart
(Based on Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006)

Does the EMA/TGA have an unobligated balance at the end of the grant year?
"…funds from a grant award… for a fiscal year are available for obligation by the (Area) through the end of the one-year period beginning on the date in such fiscal year on which funds from the award first become available to the area …"

YES Is the unobligated balance from the supplemental award or the formula award?

NO The unobligated balance provision does not apply to this EMA/TGA.


IF YES, CONTINUE.

1. UNOBLIGATED BALANCE IS FROM THE SUPPLEMENTAL AWARD(S)
Any remaining unobligated balance of the award(s) shall be canceled and returned by the EMA/TGA. The funds involved shall be made available by the Secretary as additional amounts for supplemental grants for the first FY beginning after the FY in which the Secretary obtains the information necessary for determining that canceling the balance is required.*

2. UNOBLIGATED BALANCE IS FROM THE FORMULA AWARD(S)
Did the EMA/TGA apply for a waiver allowing for a one year carryover (CO) of funds? (The waiver allows for a one-time “carryover year” of an EMA/TGA’s unobligated balance from a formula award)

3.A. Yes, and the waiver (for CO) was approved

The unobligated funds are available for expenditure by the EMA/TGA involved for the one-year period beginning upon the expiration of the grant year. If the funds are not expended by the end of this CO year, the award shall be canceled and returned by the EMA/TGA. The funds involved shall be made available by the Secretary as additional amounts for supplemental grants for the first FY beginning after the FY in which the Secretary obtains the information necessary for determining that canceling the balance is required.*

3.b. No, the EMA/TGA did not apply for the waiver or the waiver application was rejected

Funds not obligated by the end of the grant year shall be canceled and returned by the EMA/TGA. The funds involved shall be made available by the Secretary as additional amounts for supplemental grants for the first FY beginning after the FY in which the Secretary obtains the information necessary for determining that canceling the balance is required.*

4. FOR EITHER 3A OR 3B:
Is the unobligated balance > or < 2%?

(This provision applies regardless of receipt of a waiver)

4A. UNOBLIGATED BALANCE >2%
If an EMA/TGA has an unobligated balance greater than 2%, the Secretary shall reduce, by the same amount as such unobligated balance, the amount of the grant under such subsection for the first FY beginning after the FY in which the Secretary obtains the information necessary for determining that such balance was unobligated at the end of the grant year. This amount will be available for supplemental grants for such year.*
Additionally, with an unobligated balance greater than 2% canceled or covered by a waiver for the recent grant year, the EMA/TGA is not eligible to receive a Part A supplemental award for the first FY beginning after the FY in which the Secretary obtains the information necessary for determining that such balance was unobligated at the end of the grant year.

4B. UNOBLIGATED BALANCE <2%
Future corresponding reduction in funds and ineligibility for supplemental funds do not apply to unobligated amounts less than or equal to 2%.

* Availability of canceled funds for redistribution as supplemental grants is first subject to the hold harmless provision.

Note: A reduction due to an unobligated balance greater than 2% may not be taken into account in applying the hold harmless provision for the subsequent FY.
