information describing tasks performed, hours devoted to each task, and the hourly rate charged
for each hour including enough information to calculate the hourly rates based on payroll records.
Employee benefits shall be clearly shown.
The Division shall review all submitted requests for reimbursement for basic accuracy of
information. Further, the Division shall ensure that no unauthorized work was completed prior to

work was completed, and that the mitigation measures are in compliance with the approved
Scope of Work prior to processing any requests for reimbursement.
Review and approval of any third party in-kind services, if applicable, shall be conducted by the
18
Division in coordination with the Recipient.
Quarterly reports shall be submitted by the Recipient and received by the Division at the times
