| ARRA Reporting |
As required by the Recovery Act, all Recovery JAG grantees are to report on two performance measures related to jobs: 1) Number of jobs created, and 2) Number of jobs retained. Job creation and retention are not mandatory usages of funds, but they are encouraged. These measures are OJP-wide and grantees and sub-grantees are required to answer them (even if the answer is 0) quarterly. These measures will be collected quarterly 10 DAYS after the end of the quarter in our new online Performance Measurement Tool (PMT). In addition, there are JAG Programmatic Measures required. They are customized dependent on activity type within each purpose area. Grantees and sub-grantees will report on performance measures for only those activities funded by Recovery dollars. Grantees are not required to report on all programmatic performance measures; only those applicable to your grant. Please note these are draft measures and may change slightly based on feedback from the field and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). This version of the measures is accurate as of May 11, 2009. These programmatic measures will be collected quarterly 30 DAYS after the end of the quarter in our new online Performance Measurement Tool (PMT). All JAG grantees must also submit quarterly financial status reports and an annual programmatic report through the OJP Grants Management System (GMS). |
