TO : STATE AGENCIES ADMINISTERING PLANS UNDER TITLE III OF THE OLDER AMERICANS ACT OF 1965, AS AMENDED

SUBJECT : New Revised AoA Supplemental Form to the SF-269 Report for Formula Grants Under Title III of the Older Americans Act.

LEGAL AND RELATED

REFERENCES : Older Americans Act of 1965, As Amended

The purpose of this Program Instruction is to inform the States of the new, revised AoA Supplemental Form to the SF-269 and to transmit a copy with instructions for completion.

On August 24, 2001, OMB approved the revision to the AoA Supplemental Form to the SF-269 which was published for comments in the June 13, 2001 issue of the Federal Register. A copy of this supplemental form with instructions on completing both the SF-269 and the supplemental form is attached. This revised supplemental form replaces the AoA supplemental form currently in use and must now be used in reporting all open Title III grant years. States should duplicate the supplemental form for future use. The SF-269 can be found at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants

The effective date for using the revised supplemental form is the first financial reporting period for FY 2002 (October 1, 2001 to March 31, 2002). There is no change to the frequency of reporting or the due dates for receipt in the Regional Offices. Reporting for the first six months of a fiscal year (October 1- March 31) is due in the Regional Office by April 30. Reporting for the second six months of a fiscal year (April 1 - September 30) is due in the Regional Office by October 30. All open grant years will be reported on this schedule until all obligations are liquidated within the allowable two year period following the year of the awarding of the grant. Grants awarded with realloted funds have an additional year for obligation liquidation.

This supercedes AoA-PI-95-01 and all previous instructions regarding the use of AoA Supplemental Forms to the SF-269.

EFFECTIVE DATE : October 1, 2001

ATTACHMENTS : AoA Supplemental Form to the SF-269 and Instructions
