Expenses to track for CARES Act reimbursements
During today’s call with Dr. Jeffrey Stern from VDEM and Dr. Ron Carlee from ODU, several participants asked about expenses localities should be tracking in order to be eligible for CARES Act reimbursements. Although the hosts stressed the importance of tracking this information as well as the need to “document, document, document” (per Dr. Carlee), they deferred to VML for specific details.
VML staff have created a list of suggested itemized expenses to track for CARES Act reimbursements. This list was shared with our member localities earlier this month. Given the urgent need to make this information as widely available as possible, however, we have added it to our website.
The most recent version of our Suggested itemized expenses to track for CARES Act reimbursements is available under the “Economy” section of our COVID-19 Resources page.
The list will be updated as more information becomes available, so please check back often. We will also announce when new versions are added via future eNews communications and social media.
