Reminder: ARPA Reporting due April 30

ARPA reporting season is upon us and as a reminder, all local governments that received State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) must submit reports to the US Treasury by April 30, 2025. For many local governments, this ARPA reporting period will cover activity from April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025. Here are a few tips and reminders to consider as you prepare to submit this report: 

• Local governments must file a report even if they did not expend ARPA funds during the reporting period or have no further expenditures to report. 

• All ARPA funding is required to have been obligated by December 31, 2024, and must be fully expended by December 31, 2026.  

• Ensure you have an active SAM.gov registration by logging in to your SAM.gov account. If your registration needs updating, begin the process as early as possible, as this update can take several weeks to complete.  

• If you have experienced staff turnover, make sure you have retained your local government’s Treasury portal login credentials and take a moment to log into the portal. Retain a hard copy of the login credentials in your records. 

• Retain hard copies of your previously submitted ARPA reports for your records.
