AOD intends to reallot funds under the authority of Section 122(e) and Section 142(a)(1) of the Development Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-402). AOD will be reallotting FY 2020 funds awarded to the State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) located within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. This determination is based on the limited reported expenditures and requests for reimbursement over the last several years from the SCDD in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rico SCDD will have up to $1.8 million rescinded and proportionately redistributed to the remaining SCDDs. SCDDs that receive FY 2020 realloted funds will have through the end of FY 2020 to obligate the funds and until the end of FY 2022 to liquidate the funds. Realloted funds for the SCDDs must be used according to the terms as outlined in the FY 2020 Notice of Award for each program.
