EANS-I Late Liquidation Request

EANS-I awardees that are interested in applying for late liquidation for one or more expenses for EANS-I funds should submit a request by providing the required information outlined below by September 30, 2023. Approval of a grantee’s request will be based upon the specific facts and circumstances, in accordance with 2 CFR §200.344(b). Both DESE, and then USED, will review submissions on a rolling, first-come-first-served basis.

If approved under this process, private schools will be notified by DESE as soon as USED makes a final determination. Please note that submission of a request does not guarantee approval for a liquidation extension. Awardees should plan for an alternative source of funds for any contractual performance extending beyond November 29, 2023 should an extension request not receive approval. Further, if a late liquidation request is approved by DESE and USED, no changes can be made to the specific project or contract. If the executed contract cannot be fulfilled, the funds subject to late liquidation must be forfeited.

All late liquidation requests must be received by DESE by September 30, 2023 at 11:59PM EST.
