Summary

The Secretary, after talking with the Director, can require anyone who gets these funds to send written reports, answer questions, or fill out surveys in the form the Secretary sets so they can do their job. People who run a project that gets this money must keep the records the Secretary requires so audits and performance checks can be done. The Secretary, the Director (for community action agencies), and the Comptroller General, or their authorized reps, may inspect any books, papers, or records related to the funding. Payments can be made in parts, paid in advance, or by reimbursement, and will be adjusted for any overpayments or underpayments.
