Sec.17b-800-3. Financing and program review

(a) The department shall allocate funds pursuant to a contract that sets forth the specific conditions under which the grant is awarded.

(b) Sections 17b-800-1 through 17b-800-7, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies comprise the minimum standards of eligibility for department funding. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee that an applicant or grantee will receive department funding, nor that funding will be provided in subsequent fiscal years.

(c) The department may seek recovery of any grant funds not used consistently with the terms of a grant.

(d) The grantee shall submit periodic program and progress reports to the department and shall maintain records of the use of the grievance procedure. Such records shall be available to the department for review upon request.

(e) The department shall, at least annually, review and evaluate the performance of each grantee. Such reviews and evaluations may include an examination of the grantee’s documents and reports, site visits by department staff, or both. Such reviews and evaluations shall also include a review of:

(1) The grantee’s compliance with sections 17b-800-1 through 17b-800-7, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies and the terms and conditions of its contract; and

(2) The grantee’s financial reports to the department and the grantee’s annual audit.

(f) If the department determines that the grantee has failed to meet its obligations under subdivisions (1) and (2) of subsection (e) of this section, the department may place the grantee on probation or, when the failure is serious or repeated, terminate its contract.
