Illinois Administrative Code › Title 56 - LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT › Part 2610 - TRAINING SERVICES FOR THE DISADVANTAGED › Section 2610.140 - Administrative Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
All Grantees shall operate Title IIA and Title IIB programs in
				compliance with the Act and applicable federal rules and regulations ( 20 CFR
				626 - 638(1983) ). All grantees are required to comply with the following
				administrative requirements.
a)
			 Suspension and Termination
1) Suspension - If
			 the grantee fails to comply with the special conditions and/or the general
			 terms and conditions of the Illinois Job Training Partnership Act Grant
			 Agreement, the Department shall, after notice to the grantee, suspend the grant
			 and withhold further payments or prohibit the grantee from incurring additional
			 obligations of grant funds, pending implementation of a corrective action plan
			 accepted by the Department or a decision to terminate. The Department shall
			 determine to allow such necessary and proper costs which the grantee could not
			 reasonably avoid during the period of suspension provided such costs were
			 necessary and reasonable for the conduct of the project.
2) Termination - The grant may be terminated
			 as follows:
A) Termination Due to Loss of
			 Funding - In the absence of federal funding, the grant will be terminated in
			 full. In the event of a partial loss of federal funding, the Department will
			 make proportionate partial cuts to grantees.
B) Termination for Cause -
i) If the Department determines that the
			 grantee has failed to comply with the special conditions and/or the general
			 terms and conditions of the grant, the Department may terminate the grant in
			 whole, or in part, at any time before the date of completion. Circumstances
			 which may result in the termination of a grant include, but are not necessarily
			 limited to, the following: consistent failure to submit required reports;
			 failure to maintain required records; failure to protect inventory; misuse of
			 equipment purchased with grant funds; evidence of fraud and abuse; consistent
			 failure to meet performance standards; and failure to resolve negotiated points
			 of the agreement (i.e., narrative, number of participants to be
			 served).
ii) The circumstances
			 listed are explained within the subgrant agreement.
iii) The Department shall promptly notify the
			 grantee in writing of the determination to terminate, the reasons for such
			 termination, and the effective date of the termination. Payments made to the
			 grantee or recoveries by the Department shall be in accordance with the legal
			 rights and liabilities of the parties.
C) Termination by Agreement - The Department
			 and the grantee shall terminate the grant in whole, or in part, when the
			 Department and the grantee agree that the continuation of the program
			 objectives would not produce beneficial results commensurate with the future
			 expenditures of funds. The Department and the grantee shall agree upon
			 termination conditions, including the effective date and, in the case of
			 partial termination, the portion to be terminated. The grantee shall not incur
			 new obligations for the terminated portion after the effective date, and shall
			 cancel as many outstanding obligations as possible. The Department shall allow
			 full credit to the grantee for the Department's share of the noncancellable
			 obligations incurred consistent with the grant agreement.
