SUMMARY:Legal Implications of the Administration's Recent Moves (Members Only)
DESCRIPTION:The executive actions taken during the first year of the second Trump administration have garnered a great deal of attention and raised numerous questions for Community Action Agencies (CAAs). Through a series of executive orders (EOs)\, policies\, and memos\, the administration has issued broad directives potentially impacting grantees around the use\, review\, and availability of federal funding. What is more\, legal action has been taken to challenge many of these actions and ongoing litigation is generating much uncertainty about what’s to come. \nTo help CAAs understand these actions and the related legal issues\, CAPLAW is hosting Part 4 of CAPLAW’s members-only webinar series on the Trump administration’s moves in its first year. This webinar will provide attendees with status updates on executive actions\, federal agency policies\, and key related litigation. \nThis webinar is only for CAPLAW members. If you are unsure if your organization is a member of CAPLAW\, contact admin@caplaw.org.

SUMMARY:Part 2: Maximizing Understanding of the New De Minimis Rate
DESCRIPTION:With the effective date of the updated Uniform Guidance fast approaching\, the increase in the de minimis rate from 10% to up to 15% of modified total direct costs invites the question: should a CAA elect to use the new de minimis rate? To help CAAs understand the new de minimis rate and other related adjustments to the Uniform Guidance that impact cost recovery\, CAPLAW is hosting this two-part webinar series with financial expert Kay Sohl. \nPart 2 will focus on practical examples that illustrate the application of the rate and potential challenges discussed in Part 1\, such as when specific funding sources impose limits on administrative cost recovery.  We will also spend time answering questions posed in Part 1 as well as in Part 2 with the goal of helping CAAs think through their cost recovery strategies and approaches in light of the changes to the Uniform Guidance. \nTo learn about Part 1 of this two-part series\, click here.

To help CAAs understand the new de minimis rate and other related adjustments to the Uniform Guidance that impact cost recovery\, CAPLAW is hosting this two-part webinar series with financial expert Kay Sohl. \nPart 1 of the series will explain the updates to the de minimis rate option and how it compares to other methods of cost recovery\, such as negotiated indirect cost rates and direct cost allocation plans. We will describe how CAAs can assess and consider whether a de minimis rate of up to 15% makes sense for them\, and present common de minimis rate-related issues that confront CAAs as recipients of multiple sources of federal\, state\, and local funding. \nTo learn about Part 2 of this two-part webinar series\, click here.

SUMMARY:Let's Talk About Changes to the Uniform Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of key\, potential changes on the horizon to the rules that govern the administration and use of federal awards. On October 5\, 2023\, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published proposed revisions to the Uniform Administrative Requirements\, Cost Principles\, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). If implemented\, the revisions could result in a number of impactful changes\, including increasing the de minimis rate for indirect cost recovery from 10% to 15%; removing certain prior written approval requirements; clarifying when recipients and subrecipients may notify OMB of disputes with regard to a Federal agency’s acceptance of a federally negotiated indirect cost rate; and more. We will share our analysis of the proposed changes and our understanding of their potential implications for federal grant recipients and subrecipients. We’d also like to hear your thoughts\, especially with respect to any feedback you think is important to share with OMB. \nRegister Now.

SUMMARY:Ask the Financial Experts: Fiscal Navigation in 2022
DESCRIPTION:Fiscal administration and management issues for federal grants have become more complex for CAAs due to the historic influx of funding they received in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these challenges\, from managing new programs and a rapid ramp-up of services\, to cost allowability as needs during the pandemic evolved and closing out short-term grants\, relate to the financial administration of new or increased funding streams. \nTo help CAAs navigate these challenges – new and old – CAPLAW\, in collaboration with the National Community Action Partnership\, has invited two of our most knowledgeable and engaging financial experts\, Kay Sohl and Denes Tobie\, to answer your questions about managing your agency’s finances. \nExperts: Kay Sohl\, Kay Sohl Consulting; Denes Tobie\, Wipfli LLP

SUMMARY:LIHWAP and Community Action
DESCRIPTION:Join the federal Office of Community Services (OCS)\, CAPLAW\, and the National Community Action Partnership for a webinar on Thursday\, January 27th discussing the critical role that the Community Action network can play in facilitating the Low-Income Home Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). With over $1.1 billion in new emergency funding\, LIHWAP helps low-income households maintain access to drinking water and wastewater services by paying for water utility reconnections and bills. Grant recipients may work with local CAAs to distribute LIHWAP funding to benefit eligible households. \nThe webinar will feature CAAs from Michigan\, Iowa\, and Kentucky sharing their experiences planning for and launching their LIHWAP programs\, and how they are leveraging other sources of funding such as Emergency Rental Assistance\, LIHEAP\, and CSBG\, to provide utilities assistance to their communities. CAPLAW will also discuss its new resource\, LIHWAP: A Primer for the Community Action Network\, which is an online guide that helps the Community Action network navigate the program and better understand the role that CAAs may play in facilitating the funding. The resource incorporates current federal guidance and addresses aspects of the program critical to Community Action. \nPresenters: OCS\, CAPLAW\, NCAP\, Wayne Metro Community Action Agency\, IMPACT Community Action Partnership\, Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission \nView On Demand

SUMMARY:Federal Vaccine Mandates: Step-by-Step Compliance Guide for Community Action
DESCRIPTION:CAPLAW recently issued a step-by-step compliance guide to help the Community Action network navigate the employee vaccination mandates announced by OSHA\, Head Start\, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). In this resource we describe the planning process your CAA should consider as you develop and update your policies to reflect the new requirements. We also provide two template policies to assist your CAA in complying with the new mandates: a mandatory vaccination policy and a policy requiring vaccinations or allowing employees to choose weekly COVID-19 testing and face coverings. In this webinar we discuss these essential resources\, as well as the status of ongoing litigation challenging these mandates. \nView On Demand

SUMMARY:Special Conversation with CAPLAW: OSHA and CMS Vaccine Mandates
DESCRIPTION:The highly-anticipated OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) vaccine mandates have been issued. \nUnder the OSHA ETS\, employers with 100 or more employees must ensure their workers are either fully vaccinated or are submitting negative COVID-19 tests at least once a week by January 4\, 2022. The separate CMS vaccine mandate applies to all employees at health care facilities that receive federal funding from Medicare or Medicaid\, and it also requires employees to be vaccinated by January 4\, 2022. The CMS vaccine mandate does not give employees the option to test weekly in lieu of getting vaccinated. \nView On Demand
