PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

DOJ grant money for a fiscal year must only be awarded and given out during that fiscal year and the three succeeding fiscal years. Money not awarded in that time must go back to the Treasury. If funds are moved into a later year, they count as that later year’s funds. If funds were promised and then later released, the time they stay available is extended by the number of days they were promised. A grantee can spend awarded funds only during the period the grant allows; unused funds will be released. "DOJ grant funds" means the amounts appropriated for DOJ grant programs for that fiscal year. These rules start with fiscal year 2006.
