Within 90 days after the expiration or termination of the grant, the grantee must submit all financial, performance, and other reports required as a condition of the grant. Upon request by the grantee, Federal agencies may extend this timeframe. These may include but are not limited to: (1) Final performance or progress report. (2) Financial Status Report (SF-269) or Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs (SF-271) (as applicable). (3) Final request for payment (SF-270) (if applicable).

The Federal agency will, within 90 days after receipt of reports in paragraph (b) of this section, make upward or downward adjustments to the allowable costs. (d) Cash adjustments. (1) The Federal agency will make prompt payment to the grantee for allowable reimbursable costs. (2) The grantee must immediately refund to the Federal agency any balance of unobligated (unencumbered) cash advanced that is not authorized to be retained for use on other grants.

29 C.F.R. § 1470.51 Later disallowances and adjustments.

The closeout of a grant does not affect: (a) The Federal agency's right to disallow costs and recover funds on the basis of a later audit or other review; (b) The grantee's obligation to return any funds due as a result of later refunds, corrections, or other transactions; (c) Records retention as required in § 1470.42; (d) Property management requirements in §§ 1470.31 and 1470.32; and (e) Audit requirements in § 1470.26.

29 C.F.R. § 1470.52 Collection of amounts due.

(a) Any funds paid to a grantee in excess of the amount to which the grantee is finally determined to be entitled under the terms of the award constitute a debt to the Federal Government. If not paid within a reasonable period after demand, the Federal agency may reduce the debt by: (1) Making an adminstrative offset against other requests for reimbursements, (2) Withholding advance payments otherwise due to the grantee, or (3) Other action permitted by law. (b) Except where otherwise provided by statutes or regulations, the Federal agency will charge interest on an overdue debt in accordance with the Federal Claims Collection Standards (4 CFR chapter II). The date from which interest is computed is not extended by litigation or the filing of any form of appeal.
