FY2021/22 HEERF Expenditure Reports

As mentioned in the AART Meeting this morning, we have been asked to submit a projected expense report of the FY2021/22 Higher Education Emergency Relief Funding (HEERF) support we were allocated. In order to comply with the request, ABSO has emailed out a template with instructions to the colleges that have been awarded HEERF funds (Business, Education, Engineering, and Science). Academic Support Units who have also received HEERF allocations have also been asked to provide expense projections.

Please make sure to move any HEERF expenses currently in Fund 70000 – CSU Operating Fund to Fund 70602 – HEERF II Institutional with Class Code 4716 – Coronavirus COVID-19 Incident and the corresponding Project Code before 12/22/2021. You also need to project future expenses that will be incurred and will be posted in the system by February 28, 2022. Please note: Encumbrance of funds will not count as an expense. We strongly recommend that you submit your requisitions as soon as possible and work with the vendors to process invoices for payment.  

Student Assistants and Instructional Student Assistants (ISAs) will need to report all of their hours by January 31, 2022, in order for their payroll to be posted in the month of February. 

Any HEERF expenses being paid via the ProCard and/or GoCard need to be posted by the dates listed below to ensure the transactions are posted in time for the statement reconciliation process and for Accounts Payable to post the transactions to CFS in February. Note, these are the new dates provided by A/P after our meeting this morning.

  • GoCard: January 12, 2022
  • ProCard: January 18, 2022

The HEERF expense projections are due to our office by Thursday, January 6, 2022

Thank you for your assistance.

Please contact our office if you have questions.

HEERF First Priority Funding

This message is for the colleges and unis that have received HEERF funding from the division.

The Hub has been updated to include information on the HEERF funding commitments. With the campus opening up access to the HEERF Fund 70602 and encouraging direct expenditures against it, it is important for department users to follow the guidelines when processing HEERF-related transactions.

Highlights:

  • Each project is assigned a unique project number; this number must be used on all transactions.
  • Class code 4716 is also required.
  • POs and PCard charges should be posted directly in HEERF 70602.
  • Continue using CARES Act positions created last year for consultants and student assistants.

Please contact abso@sjsu.edu for questions and concerns.
