They are provided under established written leave policies; ii. The costs are equitably allocated to all related activities, including federal awards; and, iii. The accounting basis (cash or accrual) selected for costing each type of leave is consistently followed by the non-federal entity or specified grouping of employees. h.

If the Sub - Recipient seeks reimbursement for travel costs that exceed the amounts stated in section 112.061(6)(b), Florida Statutes ($6 for breakfast, $11 for lunch, and $19 for dinner), then the Sub -Recipient shall provide documentation that: The costs are reasonable and do not exceed charges normally allowed by the Sub -Recipient in its regular operations as a result of the Sub -Recipient's written travel policy; and, ii. Participation of the individual in the travel is necessary to the Federal award. i. The Division's grant manager, as required by section 215.971(2)(c), Florida Statutes, shall reconcile and verify all funds received against all funds expended during the grant agreement period and produce a final reconciliation report. The final report shall identify any funds paid in excess of the expenditures incurred by the Sub - Recipient. j.

Any advance payment under this Agreement is subject to section 216.181(16), Florida Statutes.
