INSTRUCTIONS
Purpose of this form:
This form is to be completed by the authorized representative of the Applicant and submitted to
the County. Submission of the requested information is required to make a determination
regarding eligibility for the funding request. Failure to submit required information in order to
evaluate the Application and make a funding award decision will result in denying the
Application and any award of funds.
Applicants are encouraged to review section 601(d) of the Social Security Act, as added by
section 5001 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”);
Coronavirus Relief Fund Guidance for State, Territorial, Local, and Tribal Governments issued
by the United States Department of Treasury, dated April 22, 2020; and Coronavirus Relief Fund
Frequently Asked Questions issued by the United States Department of Treasury, updated most
recently as of May 4, 2020.
Instructions regarding completing this form:
A. Requirements of the CARES Act. The CARES Act provides that payments from the Fund
may only be used to cover costs that: (1) are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public
health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID19); (2) were not
accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 (the date of enactment
of the CARES Act) for the State or government; and (3) were incurred during the period that
begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on December 30, 2020.
B. Necessary Expenditures. The requirement that expenditures be incurred “due to” the public
health emergency means that expenditures must be used for actions taken to respond to the
public health emergency. These may include expenditures incurred to allow the State, territorial,
local, or Tribal government to respond directly to the emergency, such as by addressing medical
or public health needs, as well as expenditures incurred to respond to second-order effects of the
emergency, such as by providing economic support to those suffering from employment or
business interruptions due to COVID-19-related business closures.
Funds may not be used to fill shortfalls in government revenue to cover expenditures that would
not otherwise qualify under the statute. Although a broad range of uses is allowed, revenue
replacement is not a permissible use of Fund payments.
With respect to Section 5 titled “Intended Use of Funds,” all funds must be for “Necessary
Expenditures” incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19). On April 22, 2020, the federal government provided guidance on the
definition of Necessary Expenditure.

Local Government/Public Entity/Political Subdivision
15 LOC.GOV-01
C. Costs Not Accounted For In The Budget Most Recently Approved As Of March 27,
2020.
The CARES Act also requires that payments be used only to cover costs that were not accounted
for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020. A cost meets this requirement if
either (a) the cost cannot lawfully be funded using a line item, allotment, or allocation within that
budget or (b) the cost is for a substantially different use from any expected use of funds in such a
line item, allotment, or allocation. The “most recently approved” budget refers to the enacted
budget for the relevant fiscal period for the particular government, without taking into account
subsequent supplemental appropriations enacted or other budgetary adjustments made by that
government in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. A cost is not considered to
have been accounted for in a budget merely because it could be met using a budgetary
stabilization fund, rainy day fund, or similar reserve account.
D. Costs Incurred During The Period That Begins On March 1, 2020 And Ends On
December 30, 2020.
A cost is “incurred” when the responsible unit of government has expended funds to cover the
cost.
E. Eligible Expenditures
Under the federal guidance, eligible expenditures include, but are not limited to, payment for:
1. Medical expenses such as:
(a) COVID-19-related expenses of public hospitals, clinics, and similar facilities.
(b) Expenses of establishing temporary public medical facilities and other measures to
increase COVID-19 treatment capacity, including related construction costs.
(c) Costs of providing COVID-19 testing, including serological testing.
(d) Emergency medical response expenses, including emergency medical transportation,
related to COVID-19.
(e) Expenses for establishing and operating public telemedicine capabilities for COVID-
19-related treatment.
2. Public health expenses such as:
(a) Expenses for communication and enforcement by State, territorial, local, and Tribal
governments of public health orders related to COVID-19.
(b) Expenses for acquisition and distribution of medical and protective supplies,
including sanitizing products and personal protective equipment, for medical personnel,
police officers, social workers, child protection services, and child welfare officers, direct
service providers for older adults and individuals with disabilities in community settings,

emergency.
(c) Expenses for disinfection of public areas and other facilities, e.g., nursing homes, in

(e) Expenses for public safety measures undertaken in response to COVID-19.
(f) Expenses for quarantining individuals.
3. Payroll expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar
employees whose services are substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-
19 public health emergency.

measures, such as:
(a) Expenses for food delivery to residents, including, for example, senior citizens and
other vulnerable populations, to enable compliance with COVID-19 public health
precautions.
(b) Expenses to facilitate distance learning, including technological improvements, in

5. Expenses associated with the provision of economic support in connection with the
COVID-19 public health emergency, such as:
(a) Expenditures related to the provision of grants to small businesses to reimburse the
costs of business interruption caused by required closures.
For the purpose of this Request for Distribution, “small business” shall mean the
Applicant must have 500 or fewer employees as calculated by the Small Business
Administration in 13 C.F.R 121.106. Part-time and temporary workers are counted the
same as full-time employees (not on an FTE basis). Volunteers and independent
contractors are not included for purposes of the 500-employee calculation. Applicants
may elect to use either (i) the average number of employees per pay period in the 12
completed calendar months prior to the date of the Request for
Distribution, or (ii) the total number of employees by using the average for the 2019
calendar year.
(b) Expenditures related to a State, territorial, local, or Tribal government payroll support
program.
(c) Unemployment insurance costs related to the COVID-19 public health emergency if
such costs will not be reimbursed by the federal government pursuant to the CARES Act
or otherwise.

government that satisfy the Fund’s eligibility criteria.

not be eligible expenditures of payments from the Fund.

2. Damages covered by insurance.
3. Payroll or benefits expenses for employees whose work duties are not substantially

7. Severance pay.
8. Legal settlements.
