Whether the RIA would survive OIRA and litigation from budget justification

Situation

Oversight and Records work in a commissioner preparing for oversight hearing now turns on the RIA would survive because a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match put budget justification vs. actual execution last year in play. Grant-compliance officer should say what budget justification vs. actual execution last year proves.

Decision

Grant-compliance officer in a commissioner preparing for oversight hearing must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using budget justification vs. actual execution last year after a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match — specific to budget justification vs. actual execution last year after a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match on this Government Oversight and Records file for grant-compliance officer in a commissioner preparing for oversight hearing.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in budget justification vs. actual execution last year is the one a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match named, so Pay or continue follows for this Oversight and Records file.
• The population in budget justification vs. actual execution last year is adjacent only to a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match; Recoup is the honest Government call.
• A commissioner preparing for oversight hearing already contained a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match before budget justification vs. actual execution last year arrived; no new Oversight and Records path.
• Provenance on budget justification vs. actual execution last year after a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match is broken; do not pick Pay or continue or Recoup yet.

Analysis required

• Trace the audit trail grant-compliance officer would produce for oversight.
• Map eligibility, appropriation, and program rules in budget justification vs. actual execution last year after a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match — specific to budget justification vs. actual execution last year after a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match on this Government Oversight and Records file for grant-compliance officer in a commissioner preparing for oversight hearing.
• Name the statutory hook that budget justification vs. actual execution last year does or does not support.
• For this Government Oversight and Records file, read budget justification vs. actual execution last year against a subrecipient that cannot produce payroll for match and write the one fact that would move the RIA would survive for grant-compliance officer.
