Executive takeaway
The current federal funding threshold triggering covered FFATA subaward reporting is $30,000, replacing the older $25,000 amount reflected in the original directive. The Local Area should capture the information needed for reporting when the subaward is created rather than trying to reconstruct it later.
What to control
- Correct legal entity and unique entity information for the subrecipient.
- Federal award and subaward amount.
- Place of performance and other required award fields.
- Executive-compensation information when the federal reporting rules require it.
- Timely updates when the subaward changes.
Updated threshold: EDD’s current federal-adjustment notice raises the FFATA reporting trigger from $25,000 to $30,000. WSD15-20 remains active in all other respects.
