Thank you for submitting your request to receive funds from the ARPA Coronavirus Local Fiscal
Recovery Fund on behalf of your local government.
The American Rescue Plan Act and United States Department of the Treasury guidelines
provide that any "remaining funds" from any "non-responsive" municipalities should be distributed
among the responsive municipalities in a "subsequent distribution." In New York State, very few
municipalities were non-responsive.
As such, your municipality will receive an additional allocation of $11,409.83. This brings your
total allocation to $2,806,042.85. By Summer 2022, this allocation will have been made in the following
payment amounts, the first of which you may have already received:
• First 50% of main allocation (Summer 2021): $1,397,316.51
• First 50% of additional allocation (Summer 2021): $5,704.92
• Second 50% of main allocation plus second 50% of additional allocation, combined
(Summer 2022): $1,403,021.42
As with the initial payment, funds will be disbursed by the Office of the New York State
Comptroller (OSC) electronically, using your municipality's existing banking information from the New
York State Vendor File. You should have received instructions from OSC about how to confirm and
provide any necessary updates/corrections of that information. If your municipality did not receive the
initial payment electronically from the State, you should have received instructions from OSC for adding
2
banking information to allow your municipality to receive these payments electronically. If you need
further assistance, please contact epayment(cDosc.ny.gov.
In addition, please be advised of the following:
• Retain NEU Recipient Number. You must retain your NEU Recipient Number as an
identifying number for the lifecycle of this program, including for reporting purposes. As a
reminder, your NEU Recipient Number is: NY5209
• Review Federal Reporting Requirements. The Federal Government has established
usage and reporting requirements for these funds. NEUs should visit the United States
Department of Treasury website: https://home.treaSLIry.Gov/policy-
issLies/coronavirus/assistance-for-state-local-and-tribal-governments/state-and-local-
fiscal-recovery-funds/recipient-compliance-ancl-reporting-responsibilities
• Register on SAM.gov. In order to receive funds your municipality must not be excluded
or disqualified from SAM.gov, and for reporting requirements, you will be required to be
registered with SAM.gov. If your municipality is not registered, please do so as soon as
possible.
Thank you.
