Summary

Recipients may keep and use leftover money from certain federal grant programs into the next fiscal year. That includes funds that were appropriated for those grants, any money reallotted under them, and program income (including some reimbursement payments under the Social Security Act) that was not spent before the new fiscal year began. Those carryover funds can only be used if the recipient met the federal share (matching) rules that applied for the fiscal year when the money was originally provided.
