When Revisions are Necessary
An Amendment Application or Revision must be submitted when any of the following occur:
- The sum of all changes (measured cumulatively throughout the fiscal year) to an approved budget exceeds ten percent of the total approved budget for each sub-grant.
- There are changes in any of the following:
- Approved intent
- Program area
- Purpose of salary costs and the related benefits
- Type of equipment
- Intended use of approved equipment
- Program in which the equipment will be used
- Funds are transferred to an unopened budget line (a line in which no funds were previously budgeted).
- There are requests to purchase equipment other than those items approved in the grant application (unapproved equipment).
- Funds are transferred into the administrative cost (not to exceed the 5% or 2% expended cap).
Note: Grantees are limited to the specific equipment items listed in the final approved grant application budget. To comply with federal education grant award guidance (EDGAR) all equipment purchases require prior New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) approval.
