11. ALLOWABLE & UNALLOWABLE COSTS Allowable costs = those included within your approved application
Eligible costs = those allowed under the grant program purpose area
Unallowable costs = listed in the grant solicitation
OJP Financial Guide and OMB Circulars A-87 & A-122 outline allowable and unallowable cost items for DPS
12. PERSONNEL COSTS Personnel costs must be supported with official payroll records and time/attendance reports.
DPS will no longer accept “cover letters” to solely support expenses from member agencies
Agency should obtain documents to support all fringe benefits claimed for reimbursement and maintain such documents in the grant files
If personnel costs (i.e. overtime) are paid from multiple funding sources, be sure to report hours clearly.
Section 285.530.1 RSMo indicates that an agency will not knowingly employ, hire for employment, or continue to employ an unauthorized alien to perform work within the State of Missouri
Federal law requires every employer hiring an individual for employment in the United States to verify his or her identity and employment authorization through completion of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis
13. PERSONNEL COSTS cont’d Recovery Act Grant-specific guidelines:
Grants funded with Recovery Act funds for personnel costs must submit records to support hours paid with each monthly claim report
Record must correspond to the payroll period being claimed
Payroll sheet can substitute for timesheet if hours paid are clearly displayed
Timesheet must clearly identify all hours worked and must be signed by the approving authority
Help DPS identify the number of hours to report on the Detail Sheet (use straight time hours rather than time and a half hours)
Wage Rate Requirement (Section 1606 of the Recovery Act)
All laborers and mechanics employed funded with Recovery Act funds shall be paid wages at rates not less than those prevailing on projects of a character similar in the locality
http://www.wdol.gov/

receipts are no longer required (unless required by your local travel policy); still need to maintain record of meals being requested for audit/monitoring purposes
