§ 17568 Late Reimbursement Claim Penalty

Key Takeaways

  • •If a school or local government sends in a money request late, they lose 10% of what they could have gotten.
  • •The most they can lose for being late is $10,000.
  • •If they wait more than a year to send the request, they get nothing.

Example

A school district sends in a $50,000 request for new computers 2 months after the deadline.

Because they were late, the state takes away 10% of $50,000, which is $5,000. The school only gets $45,000 instead of the full $50,000.
