                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
 CHAPTER V--EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 667--ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS UNDER TITLE I OF THE WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT--Table of Contents
 
                    Subpart C--Reporting Requirements
 
Sec. 667.300  What are the reporting requirements for Workforce Investment Act programs?


    (a) General. All States and other direct grant recipients must 
report financial, participant, and performance data in accordance with 
instructions issued by DOL. Required reports must be submitted no more 
frequently than quarterly within a time period specified in the 
reporting instructions.
    (b) Subrecipient reporting. (1) A State or other direct grant 
recipient may impose different forms or formats, shorter due dates, and 
more frequent reporting requirements on subrecipients. However, the 
recipient is required to meet the reporting requirements imposed by DOL.
    (2) If a State intends to impose different reporting requirements, 
it must describe those reporting requirements in its State WIA plan.
    (c) Financial reports. (1) Each grant recipient must submit 
financial reports.
    (2) Reports must include any income or profits earned, including 
such income or profits earned by subrecipients, and any costs incurred 
(such as stand-in costs) that are otherwise allowable except for funding 
limitations. (WIA sec. 185(f)(2))
    (3) Reported expenditures and program income, including any profits 
earned, must be on the accrual basis of accounting and cumulative by 
fiscal year of appropriation. If the recipient's accounting records are 
not normally kept on the accrual basis of accounting, the recipient must 
develop accrual information through an analysis of the documentation on 
hand.
    (d) Due date. Financial reports and participant data reports are due 
no later than 45 days after the end of each quarter unless otherwise 
specified in reporting instructions. A final financial report is 
required 90 days after the expiration of a funding period or the 
termination of grant support.

    (e) Annual performance progress report. An annual performance 
progress report for each of the three programs under title I, subpart B 
is required by WIA section 136(d).
    (1) A State failing to submit any of these annual performance 
progress reports within 45 days of the due date may have its grant (for 
that program or all title I, subpart B programs) for the succeeding year 
reduced by as much as five percent, as provided by WIA section 
136(g)(1)(B).
    (2) States submitting annual performance progress reports that 
cannot be validated or verified as accurately counting and reporting 
activities in accordance with the reporting instructions, may be treated 
as failing to submit annual reports, and be subject to sanction. 
Sanctions related to State performance or failure to submit these 
reports timely cannot result in a total grant reduction of more than 
five percent. Any sanction would be in addition to having to repay the 
amount of any incentive funds granted based on the invalid report.
