Office of Management and Budget Scenario: Grant recipient draws down $100K in August 2021, but reports expenses for $80K in follo

fiscal year. Recipient must return $20K until it is needed at a later date. See Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, §200.305 Payments.
