• If you need to submit a form any time during the fiscal year, the form is posted on either the PFI or
DHS website
• Email the form to Shantel High, SAPP Administrator, and your assigned CSSC
3

Starting in FY14, Expenditure Documentation Forms (EDFs) are required to be submitted to Shantel High, SAPP Program
Administrator.
• Due the 20 th day following the proceeding month (e.g. the
September EDF is due October 20).
• The method of submission is at the agency’s discretion: U.S. mail, scan/email or fax. It is recommended that agency’s submit via email.
• EDFs need to be submitted to Shantel High, SAPP Program
Administrator.
• Address: 823 East Monroe Street, Springfield IL 62701

• The FY14 EDF form and instructions can be found in the Bureau of Positive Youth Development Program
Manual (email provided in another email)
• If you use the form provided, it auto-calculates information (eliminating errors)
• The new FY14 EDF form needs to be used
• It requires the signature or typed name of the authorized representative
• Ensure all information requested is provided
• Ensure amounts provided in multiple parts of the form are the same amounts
5

• Any payments not processed by the deadline, the
Department cannot guarantee final payment will be made.
• Additionally, there is no guarantee a provider’s payment would then be able to be processed via
Court of Claims (as contract language supports).
Important to submit your paperwork by the established deadlines!
6

• The report should reflect the previous month’s actual expenses.
• The provider will not receive payment unless Expenditure
Documentation Forms (EDFs) are submitted.
• Issues that may delay payments:
• Inaccurate information on the EDF
• Missing information on the EDF
• An EDF may be returned to the provider if the reporting reflects 1/12 of the contract (it is a red flag because the report needs to reflect actual expenses not projected).
7

• If a provider is certain that they can not report expenses for the previous month, submit a report with $0 for the Department’s record.
• You must submit a report for each month. Do not submit a report reflecting more than one month of expenditures.
8

• Each agency was required to submit a budget into the CSA Tracking System by August 30, 2013
• On the same date, a budget narrative was due to the Substance Abuse Prevention Program (SAPP) by
August 30, 2013
9

• The budget narrative must align with the program services and requirements of the grant.
• Provide calculations and descriptive narrative information. For example, commodities or supplies indicate the various types of supplies needed to operate the program and if applicable, indicate the number of supplies needed (e.g. model program workbooks for students x the cost per workbook).
• Ensure the information presented in the CSA Budget Template matches the amounts listed in the budget narrative (e.g. total grant award, by budget line item).
• For personnel include name of staff member (if unknown – Vacant), title/position, full salary, the allocation of time (% of time devoted to the grant) and the actual amount allocated for the position

• For any equipment requests, include the estimates for the proposed equipment when submitting your budget narrative.
Note: all equipment over $500 must be approved prior to
purchasing the equipment.
• If you are directing other funds (e.g. local or private resources) to the grant program, identify the source and include this information in your budget narrative.
• If you are planning to sub-contract, include descriptive information in your budget narrative. Note: sub-contracts
require prior approval. The sub-contract should not be signed and executed when submitted for consideration.
• If you receive funding from multiple sources (e.g. SAPT and
GRF), break out the funds by the fund source and for each budget category/item.
11

• Ensure timely submission
• Allow for sufficient time for review, revision (if needed) and approval
• Identify the amount of funds that you are seeking to re-direct; include the line item you are directing funds away from and the amount of funds you are directing to a new line item
• Provide rationale as to why this revision is needed and how it will support the services as outlined in your approved plan
• If you are requesting to purchase equipment over the amount of $500 include paperwork about the estimated cost of the equipment
