NCAP - NCAP Energy Webinars: NCAP, CAPLAW, and WIPFLI Discussing New DOE Financial Assistance Letter: Implementation of Indirect and Fringe Benefits Cost Reimbursement
On June 30, 2025, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Financial Assistance Regulations issued a Financial Assistance Letter (FAL) regarding Implementation of Indirect and Fringe Benefits Cost Reimbursement Limits on Financial Assistance Awards. This guidance limits state reimbursements for indirect and fringe to the dollar amount equivalent to 10% of the total award amount for grantees and local government agencies and 15% for subgrantees including CAAs and nongovernment for and not for profit WAP providers regardless of existing Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreements (NICRAs). The FAL was effective immediately (June 30, 2025) and is applicable to all awards fully executed after May 8, 2025. The FAL applies to grantee PY25 state plans and Weatherization Subgrantees through flow down requirements.
Join NCAP, CAPLAW and WIPFLI to learn about the potential impacts the FAL will have on your local Weatherization Program. Attendees will hear from legal and fiscal experts about how grantees are responding and strategies WAP providers can implement to meet requirements, mitigate risk, and maintain fiscal strength long-term.
