Disaster Relief Emergency Grant Approval Criteria

    Given the nature of emergency situations arising from natural 
disasters, requests for assistance will be processed on a priority 
basis. The primary emphasis will be on restoring, as quickly as 
possible, the program's capacity to serve eligible clients.

Disaster Relief Emergency Grant Extensions

    To obtain approval for an extension of the grant term, a recipient 
must submit a request in writing no later than sixty days prior to the 
termination date of the grant. LSC shall respond to such request no 
later than thirty days prior to the termination date of the grant.

Disaster Relief Emergency Grant Accounting and Reporting

Accounting for the Grant
    The grant must be separately reported by natural line item in 
recipient's annual audit(s). This reporting may be done either on the 
face of the financial statements, or in a schedule attached to the 
financial statements. Any fund balance remaining at the end of the 
grant period shall be refunded to the LSC at submission of the audit 
report.
Case Service Reporting
    In times of crisis, the immediate needs of victims supersede the 
need to adhere to the recipient's established priorities and recipients 
confronted by natural disasters generally dispense with the stated 
priorities to respond to the most pressing needs of their clients. 
Depending on the extent of the disaster and the impact it has on the 
recipient's case activities, the recipient may find that it has 
processed a substantial number of cases outside its normal priorities 
and the case reporting would reflect this. To avoid a distorted picture 
when disaster cases are reported in the regular CSRs, LSC requires that 
there be separate case reporting for disaster related cases for which 
emergency funding was provided.
Periodic Progress Reports
    If requested, the recipient shall make periodic reports to LSC on 
the progress being made by the recipient in the completion of the 
disaster relief project(s).
