Reimbursement Instructions & Other Info
- Once all contracts have been awarded, a budget revision may be in order. The Recipient should submit to the EDA Project Engineer, a request to revise the project budget and any updated list of funding sources, if applicable.
- If there will be a cost overrun, the Recipient must attach a list of funding sources that have been secured to cover the excess costs. An amendment to the grant may be required along with a revised budget.
- Prior to the initial release of EDA funds, all Specific Award Conditions required prior to initial disbursement must have been satisfied and accepted by the appropriate EDA staff. An initial disbursement checklist is provided for the Recipient to help ensure all requirements have been met.

- Prior to the initial disbursement, the Recipient must complete the Form SF-3881, “ACH Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form” and submit it to the EDA Project Engineer.
