(1) Quarterly reports have not been received;

(2) A budget has not been approved; or

(3) If special conditions have not been met by the grantee.

(2) Payments should be received between the end of the second month of the next period and the middle of the third month.

(1) Documentation that other funding sources are unable to contribute resources with in the quarter or that there are not other funding sources to meet allowable costs; and

(2) Timely submission of quarterly reports.
