ARPA Reporting
ARPA Reporting
All NEU municipalities in Oklahoma that accepted ARPA funds are required to report every year by the deadline of April 30th until April 30, 2027 as pg. 16 of the ARPA Project and Expenditure Report User Guide explains. If you are unsure if your municipality is an NEU, a complete list of all of the NEU’s and the funds they have received from ARPA is found on the state of Oklahoma’s Website here. The U.S. Treasury’s reporting portal opens on April 1st for NEU’s and the deadline to submit the report is by April 30, 2024. If your municipality has spent all of your ARPA funds, you will still need to login and report to indicate nothing has changed since the last report. If your municipality has not spent all of the ARPA funds, as a reminder, you have until December 31st of 2024 to obligate the funds and until December 31st of 2026 to expend the funds. As FAQ 13. 17 from the U.S. Treasury mentions, an obligation is an order placed for property and services, contracts and subawards made, and similar transactions that require payment.

Updating The Point Of Contact For Reporting
If you need to update the point of contact for reporting and someone with your municipality has access to login, follow the steps on pages 82-88 of the Project and Expenditure Report User Guide . If the original submitter is no longer available or if you cannot login to the report after trying the steps in the user guide, email COVIDReliefITSupport@treasury.gov with the subject (Entity Name)- Update to Designated Individuals.” The email should include each role that needs to be updated along with the full name, title, email and phone number of the new person designated. If the current authorized representative is not available, explain the circumstance in the email. If you do not receive a response to the email in a couple of days, call the treasury as soon as possible at (844) 529 9527.
