Commonly Asked Questions

1. Do we have to complete both the quarterly and annual report? What’s the difference?

• Quarterly reports capture more quantitative data.

– For Tribes with a HAF award that exceed $5 million, quarterly reports are due 45 days after the end of each 

quarterly reporting period.

– For Tribes with a HAF award that is less than $5 million, one quarterly report reflecting cumulative activities 

through September 30 is due mid-November each year. 

• Annual reports capture more qualitative data.

– All Tribes are required to complete and submit an Annual report reflecting activities October 1 - September 30 that 

is due mid-November each year.

2. What is an obligation? 

• An obligation is an order placed for property and services, entry into contracts, subawards, and similar transactions that 

require payment by the Tribe to a person or vendor with HAF funds (as defined in Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200.1,). 

For example, an approved invoice, application, timesheet, purchase order, etc. are examples of documentation that 

supports that your Tribe is obligated to pay a person or a vendor.

3. Do we still have to report if we haven’t spent any of the funds?

• Yes, your Tribe should complete and submit to Treasury each required report regardless of the amount of HAF award 

funds expended for each reporting period.

4. When does the HAF Award Period of Performance end?

• The HAF Award Period of Performance ends on September 30, 2026. All HAF award funds must be obligated by that 

date and expenditures for such obligations must be completed no later than 120 days after that date.

5. What is the reporting period for annual and quarterly reports?

• Annual reports must reflect activities funded with the HAF award from October 1 – September 30. 

• Quarterly reports for Tribes with a HAF award that exceed $5 million must reflect HAF award funded activities for the 

latest quarter.

• Quarterly reports for Tribes with HAF award that is less than $5 million must reflect HAF award funded activities from 

October 1 – September 30.
