Cooperative Work Agreement
Your project has an encumbrance (any line on the bottom of the finance letter with a balance greater than $0) with a Reversion date of June 30, 2014. If you have any doubt you will not completely expend that encumbrance, and submit an invoice prior to April 2014, you should apply for a CWA.

WHAT’S THE RISK?• If state or federal funding is lost due to lapsing
state budget authority, the Local Agency is responsible for completing the project using local funds. Failure to complete the project may result in the agency having to repay any state or federal funds already invoiced on the project and may jeopardize future funding.
