VIII. Special Requirements



For Direct Federal Assistance Mission Assignments, the federal agency must indicate the date, time, and location where the work was performed. This is necessary for proper billing of the state cost share associated with assignments.



*Regular labor of permanent federal agency personnel and overhead costs are not eligible for reimbursement except when costs incurred would normally be paid from a trust, revolving, or other fund whose reimbursement is required by law. The financial manager of the requesting agency for reimbursement costs must provide written certification with the bill, stating that costs would normally be paid from a trust, revolving, or other fund whose reimbursement is required by law.



**Agencies that qualify and may be seeking reimbursement must submit certified annual overhead rate proposals to FEMA OCFO for approval prior to billing. OMB Circular A-87 should be used as a guide for this purpose. Indirect cost pools must be defined to explain how the costs are derived and applied. Indirect rates should be negotiated with FEMA annually.



The cost of federal assistance provided by agencies performing work pursuant to disaster assistance authorities independent of the Stafford Act are not eligible for reimbursement.



IX. Billing Instructions



Reimbursement requests can be forwarded to FEMA monthly, regardless of the amount.Agencies should submit a final bill as soon as possible after completion of operational work, or upon termination of MA.Separate reimbursement requests are required for each MA (44CFR206.8(d)(3)).IPAC agencies should bill ALC 70-07-0002 and ensure supporting documentation is promptly forwarded to support the amounts billed to FEMA Finance Center, PO Box 9001,Winchester, VA 22604, or via email to FEMA-Disaster-Federal-Agencies-Payment@fema.dhs.gov.For additional, specific billing information contact David Williams of the FFC at (540) 504-1774.Source documents should be retained for six years and three months after final payment.References
