EPA Disallows $1.2 million for Undocumented Match

The Environmental Protection Agency disallowed $1,241,591 in grant funds awarded to the village of Wellsville, Ohio, in part because the village did not have documentation to support the receipt of required matching funds, a violation of OMB A-87. The moral of the story for tribal governments is that you need to document your matching funds – whether they are received in the form of cash or in-kind services.
