The Reimbursement Request Template must accompany the monthly reimbursement with the receipts and timesheets (if requesting Personnel or Fringe). 

If reimbursement is returned for missing items, scan the needed receipt or information and attach it separately to the same Reimbursement Request and resubmit. 

Reimbursement Request Template

Employee timesheets will be required if requesting Personnel or Fringe reimbursements. The employee's paystubs must also be included with the reimbursement. Below are timesheet templates that can be used. The timesheet must include:

• Employee Name, Title, Rate of Pay
• Employee Signature
• Supervisor's Signature (can be electronically signed)

Timesheet template - Salaried Employee

The quarterly performance measurement reporting demonstrates the value and specific benefits of the program. Subrecipients may be required to collect and report performance measures data that demonstrate how they are accomplishing the goals and objectives of the grant. This may be through a federal grant program website (federal grants) or an Excel spreadsheet template (state grants). This quarterly performance measurement report is then uploaded into COSMOS.
