COVID-19 Funding
The Budget Office, along with the Office of the Controller and Accounts Payable, have
put a process in place for requesting COVID funding for expenses related to the pandemic.
Please note the reason for this process is to create a record when using the federal
funds. It cannot be stated enough that the expenses in which these funds are used
for must have a direct nexus to the COVID pandemic. The Budget Office will have additional
questions if the justification does not draw a clear line from the expense to COVID.
A Workday account code must be obtained from the Budget Office after submitting a
COVID Request Form (CRF) each time funding is needed. A unique tracking number will
be supplied by the Budget Office which will be required when creating a requisition.
This process is for non-payroll expenses only. Do not assume a prior account code
can be used each time for your purchase. Every COVID purchase will require this process.
HEERF funding ends June 2023, so we are carefully reviewing COVID request forms to
ensure they meet the eligibility criteria, are documented and processed properly,
and it directly benefits FY23. COVID request forms may be denied if they are not
in alignment with those parameters. Post June 30, 2023, all HEERF on-going expenditures
will need another source of funding. Please be aware that any purchases made with
COVID funds must be received prior to June 20, 2023.
**NOTE**
Please follow Procurement’s Workday training to complete transactions.
