VI. Conclusion of the ARRA Funding/What to Expect Subject: 2015 & 2016 Estimated Part C Awards for NY Federal Network 2015 & 2016 Estimated Part C Awards for NY Federal Network As a follow up to the email sent to lists and the network on May 22nd (Summary of Post SPIL Correspondence with RSA), this communication is meant to provide the NY Federal Part C network with advanced information about what to expect related to the end of the ARRA funds and the impact of the “funding cliff” as the three new CILs (Madison, Queens, and Schenectady) are incorporated into the network. What to Expect For 2015 (October 2014-September 2015), CILs in the NY Federal Part C network are set to receive a “COLA plus” per correspondence sent out earlier this year. This is calculated proportionately for the network. Each award is assigned a percentage of the 2014 base amount. This percentage is then multiplied by the total amount of the “COLA plus/$119,423” to estimate increases and new total amounts. Refer to the attached Excel spreadsheet, columns B-E to track the calculations. Column D provides the estimated increases, while column E estimates the total award amounts for 2015. These amounts are provided as projections. What RSA identifies will be the actual amounts. After conversations with a couple of colleagues (confirmed by Felipe Lulli), it was established that the ARRA funds are extended throughout the entire 2015 contract year for the three new CILs (Madison, Queens, and Schenectady). This means that there will not be any reduction to the NY Federal Part C CIL network to accommodate the three new ARRA funded CILs into the network in 2015. However, the additional ARRA funding each CIL received in the NY Federal Part C CIL network over the past five years is coming to an end before or by April 1, 2015. Centers should make plans for the completion of their ARRA projects. It is probably better to state that the amount you will receive will be based on a center-by-center basis. So what RSA identifies will be the actual amounts along with the time timeframes for completion. Both items will vary between centers. This includes the obligation of unspent ARRA funds for these projects. Again, follow RSAs lead for the completion of these projects. Centers should make plans for the completion of their ARRA projects. RSA wanted me to pass along a reminder to submit the SF-425 Financial Report for Regular Part C and Part C ARRA awards as indicated by dates identified in communications with centers. Eventually, the Part C ARRA awards will require a final report (when relevant). For 2016 (October 2015-September 2016), CILs in the NY Federal Part C network will need to plan for a proportionate reduction to accommodate the three new CILs (Madison, Queens, and Schenectady) into the network post-ARRA. This is calculated proportionately for the network and includes the three new CILs. Each award is assigned a percentage of the 2015 base amount (adjusted up to include the three new CILs). This percentage is then multiplied by the total amount of the “reduction/$300,000” to estimate decreases and new total amounts. Refer to the attached Excel spreadsheet, columns F-H to track the calculations. Column G provides the estimated reductions, while column H estimates the total award amounts for 2016. These amounts are provided as projections. What RSA identifies will be the actual amounts. Please realize that these amounts are truly projected estimates for 2016. What RSA ends up identifying for your CIL will be final. The amounts represent reductions below 2014 levels (column B). The impact can be minimized if Congress authorizes another COLA for 2016. If and when the WIOA agreement is approved and signed by the President, it is believed to have a schedule of COLAs for the programs. This could provide relief in upcoming years. I hope this communication helps centers with information for advanced planning. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email or at the NYSILC office (518) 427-1060.
