Status Report on Prior-Year Finding – Agencies are required to add a full status report regardless if no change from previous update:

The State Aid Office has updated its procedures regarding this item with the following addition:

The State Aid office will be routinely provided with a request from the program office for the Maintenance of Effort data at a mutually agreed upon date. This will ensure that relevant program office parties will be in receipt of the necessary data items. State aid staff will also routinely prepare report and submit data to their direct supervisor, or whomever is filling that role on an interim basis, for review; at the same time transmit a note to the program staff to whom the MOE data is typically provided, alerting them that the calculation has been completed and is under supervisory review. Program staff should further note that, in cases of potential impact, they should contact the state aid supervisor directly by a date certain if the datafile has not been received. Program Staff should also provide the State Aid Office with any required adjustments to the MOE methodology.
