In order to obtain reimbursement for expenditures, the Subrecipient must file with the Recipient Grant Manager its request for reimbursement and any other information required to justify and support the payment request. Payment requests must include a certification, signed by an official who is authorized to legally bind the Subrecipient, which reads as follows: By signing this report, I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the report is true, complete, and accurate, and the expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the purposes and objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of the Federal award. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, or the omission of any material fact, may subject me to criminal, civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise. (U.S. Code Title 18, Section 1001 and Title 31, Sections 3729-3730 and 3801-3812). b. Reimbursements will only be made for expenditures that the Recipient provisionally determines are eligible under the CARES Act. However, the Recipient's provisional determination that an expenditure is eligible does not relieve the Subrecipient of its duty to repay the Recipient for any expenditures that are later determined by the Recipient, the State of Florida or the Federal government to be ineligible.
