Why are the IDEA Recovery claims due prior to the end of the calendar quarter?
The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) received information on what data must be collected to meet the requirements of section 1512 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This data includes ARRA funds DPI disbursed to LEAs. This data must be submitted to White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) by the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) through the federal data reporting system. The DPI must provide the data to the DOA in time to meet OMB’s deadline. LEAs must submit claims for expenditures made against the IDEA Recovery flow-through or preschool funds timely, so that the claims can be paid and these expenditures can be reported to the DOA.
