Project and Expenditure reports for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) are due to the U.S. Department of the Treasury by April 30, 2026, for all recipients that have not yet completed close out.
To support counties as they prepare their quarterly or annual reports, the National Association of Counties (NACo) is partnering with the National League of Cities (NLC) to host “open office” this month. These sessions are an opportunity to ask questions, troubleshoot reporting challenges, and receive guidance on SLFRF reporting requirements.

About the ARPA SLFRF Quarterly & Annual Reporting Deadline
These cumulative reports must reflect the most current information on obligations and expenditures. Counties with a population above 250,000 or those that received more than 10 million dollars in funding must submit a quarterly report covering January through March, while smaller counties and non-entitlement units must submit their annual report.
Failure to submit required reports by the deadline may result in adverse action from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, including the potential recapture of funds. Counties that were previously invited to close out, but did not complete the process, must continue submitting required reports and will be re-invited at a later date. All funds must be fully expended by December 31, 2026, except for certain transportation and housing projects, which must be completed by September 30, 2026. Counties are encouraged to visit the U.S. Department of the Treasury State and Local Fiscal Funds (SLFRF) website for information. Any specific questions or concerns should be directed via email to SLFRF@treasury.gov, which also creates an official case record for your county. Additional helpful information is provided in the recent SLFRF Newsletter, issued this month.
