additional information on administrative expenses, see section Administrative Expenses in <br />Program Administration Provisions. <br />Effective Service Delivery: Administrative Expenses <br />The interim final rule provided that funds could be used for: "Expenses to improve <br />efficacy of public health or economic relief programs: Administrative costs associated with the <br />recipient's COVID-19 public health emergency assistance programs, including services <br />responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, that are <br />not federally funded." In the final rule, Treasury is clarifying that there are several categories of <br />eligible administrative expenses. <br />First, recipients may use funds for administrative costs to improve the efficacy of public <br />health or economic relief programs through tools like program evaluation, data analysis, and <br />targeted consumer outreach (see section Effective Service Delivery: Program Evaluation, Data, <br />and Outreach). <br />Second, recipients may use funds for administrative costs associated with programs to <br />respond to the public health emergency and its negative economic impacts, including programs <br />that are not funded by SLFRF or not federally funded. In other words, Treasury recognizes that <br />responding to the public health and economic impacts of the pandemic requires many programs <br />and activities, some of which are not funded by SLFRF. Executing these programs effectively is <br />a component of responding to the public health and negative economic impacts of the pandemic. <br />Finally, recipients may use funds for direct and indirect administrative costs for <br />administering the SLFRF program and projects funded by the SLFRF program.
