<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">CARES Act funding as Match for PA:</span></u></b> There has been some reporting that the CARES act funding can be used to match FEMA cost share requirements. We are aware of this,

care facilities and emergency service providers (ambulance, fire and police) and be reimbursed by PA at the prevailing cost share. However, an eligible Applicant could not procure PPE on behalf of a private business and be reimbursed by PA. FEMA and HHS are
working together to distribute cloth facial coverings as part of a multi-prong approach to re-open American economic activity while continuing to limit spread of COVID-19 through direct federal assistance. Only eligible PNP medical care facilities treating
COVID-19 patients would be eligible for the reimbursement of PPE directly. Purchase of PPE is only eligible as an emergency protective measure. For PNPs, emergency protective measures are generally limited to activities to prevent damage to its eligible
facility. This is because emergency services are usually the legal responsibility of SLTT governments. In limited circumstances, FEMA may reimburse a PNP directly when essential components of a facility are urgently needed to save lives or protect health
and safety, such as an emergency room of a PNP hospital. See PAPPG V3.1, Chapter 2:VI.B. For COVID-19 declarations, eligible PNP medical care facilities providing treatment to COVID-19 patients would be eligible to request reimbursement for medical care services
including the purchase of PPE. Any other PNP facility would not be eligible under PA for PPE. For further clarification on this question please contact your PA lead or

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Real Property, Durable Equipment, and Temporary Leases</u></b>: Many jurisdictions are incurring costs for property and equipment that may require reconciliation on the back end. Applicants should discuss purchases of real property,
equipment with a value of over $5,000 and a useful life of over one year, and leases of temporary facilities with their appropriate state POCs. All of these have specific requirements that come into effect as soon as their authorized purpose concludes, which,
at this time, will be no later than the end of the federal Public Health Emergency. At this time, there have been no COVID specific changes and the standard guidance continues to apply: disposition of real property will be coordinated with FEMA Headquarters,
the salvage value of equipment will be deducted from the eligible total costs of the project worksheet it’s on, and FEMA will not pay for leases beyond the end of the PHE, when they should terminate for convenience. For some specific projects different guidelines
may apply. Please advise your applicants to exercise prudence when engaged in the purchase or improvement of real property, the purchase of equipment, or the leasing of temporary space.<o:p></o:p></p>
