Summary

Unspent money given for certain federal grant programs, including any reallotted funds and program income (such as reimbursements under the Social Security Act), that a recipient has not set aside or spent before the next fiscal year starts can still be used by that recipient during the following fiscal year. The carryover is allowed only if the recipient met the program’s federal cost‑share (federal share) rules for the fiscal year when the money was first provided.
