SUMMARY:Part 1: 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 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.

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.

SUMMARY:CAPLAW Pulse: New Resources You Should Know
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, CAPLAW attorneys will explain the key legal framework behind three new resources\, providing general insights on state open meetings laws\, immigrant eligibility for various public benefits\, and responding to data incidents. This session will also include a brief demonstration of the resources and how they can enhance CAAs’ compliance\, operations\, and programs. \nOpen Meetings Law State-by-State Guide: This interactive map guides CAAs through the process of determining if and how their state’s open meetings law may apply to their organization\, as well as tips on compliance. \nSpotlight on Immigrant Eligibility for Public Benefits: Take a look at our at-a-glance table of immigrant eligibility for federal public benefits\, and dive deeper into each benefit’s requirements as well as whether the benefits are considered in a public charge determination. \nResponding to Data Incidents: A Step-By-Step Guide for CAAs: This resource follows a real-life CAA experience using a fictional CAA name as it navigates the challenging and important process of responding to a data incident and minimizing the impact of the incident at the organization.

SUMMARY:PART 1 - Legal Implications of the New Administration's First Moves: Executive Orders\, Memos\, and More
DESCRIPTION:The executive actions taken during the first weeks of the new 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) and memos\, the administration issued broad directives potentially impacting grantees around the use\, review\, and availability of federal funding\, and generating much uncertainty about what’s to come. \nTo help CAAs understand these initial actions and related legal issues\, CAPLAW is hosting two webinars. The first\, on Friday\, February 7 at 1pm ET\, will provide attendees with an overview of the EOs and memos and the legal issues they raise\, including those related to a federal funding pause. We will also discuss litigation filed in response to the executive actions and its potential impacts. Attendees will be able to submit questions that CAPLAW will answer and use to guide its discussion in a second webinar\, on Wednesday\, February 12 at 1pm ET.
