Federal Stimulus Annual Reporting Help Page

Annual reporting help for federal stimulus funding.

The U.S. Congress has passed three federal stimulus funding relief packages in response to the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act was enacted on December 27, 2020. The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act was signed into law on March 11, 2021.

The Stimulus Funding Reporting Portal was created by the California Department of Education (CDE) to gather required data for purposes of state and federal reporting on CARES Act, CRRSA Act, ARP Act, and other COVID-19 related funds. Local educational agencies (LEAs) must report on these funds within the Stimulus Funding Reporting Portal.

For an introduction to Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) and Governor's Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Annual Reporting, please see the Year 3 ESSER and GEER Annual Reporting Webinar PowerPoint (PPTX).

For blank templates of required reports for preparation purposes only, please see the resources below. The required information must be submitted within the Stimulus Funding Reporting Portal.

ESSER Funds Annual Reporting Overview

The ESSER I Fund is a subset of the federal Education Stabilization Fund (ESF) and was created by the CARES Act. Pursuant to Section 18003 of the CARES Act, funding is allocated to states based on their share of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) funding in fiscal year 2019–20.

The ESSER II Fund was created by the CRRSA Act as part of an additional appropriation to the ESF. Pursuant to Section 313 of the CRRSA Act, funding is allocated to states based on their share of Title I of the ESEA funding in fiscal year 2020–21.

The ESSER III Fund was created by the ARP Act. Pursuant to Section 2001 of the ARP Act, funding is allocated to states based on their share of Title I of the ESEA funding in fiscal year 2020–21. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 2001(e)(1) of the ARP Act, LEAs must reserve at least 20% of their mandatory subgrant funding to address the impact of lost instructional time on student academic success and social-emotional and mental health, and may use any remaining funds for purposes specified in Section 2001(e)(2).

Not less than 90 percent of each of the funds received by the state must be disbursed to LEAs in proportion to the funds received under Part A of Title I of the ESEA. This is referred to as the mandatory subgrant, and is reflected in the following resource codes:

  • ESSER I, Resource Code 3210
  • ESSER II, Resource Code 3212
  • ESSER III, Resource Codes 3213 and 3214 (20% set aside to address learning loss)

The remaining funds are known as the state educational agency (SEA) Reserve, and may be allocated at the state’s discretion. The 2020–21 Budget Act appropriated $112.2 million of the ESSER I SEA Reserve to increase reimbursement for meals served between March 2020 and August 2020, inclusive, at a rate not to exceed an additional $0.75 per meal. The Budget Act additionally appropriated $45 million for the California Community Schools Partnership Program.

The 2021–22 Budget Act appropriated $670,963,000 of the ESSER II SEA Reserve to partially fund the Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant (ELO-G). The 2021–22 Budget Act additionally appropriated $437,067,000 of the ESSER III SEA Reserve for emergency needs and $753,444,000 of the ESSER III SEA Reserve for learning loss to partially fund the ELO-G. These funds are reflected in the following resource codes:

  • ELO-G ESSER II SEA Reserve, Resource Code 3216
  • ELO-G ESSER III SEA Reserve – Emergency Needs, Resource Code 3218
  • ELO-G ESSER III SEA Reserve – Learning Loss, Resource Code 3219

The 2021–22 Budget Act appropriated $94,951,000 of the ESSER III SEA Reserve Afterschool set-aside to increase rates for the After School Education and Safety (ASES) Program in 2021–22 and $53,847,000 of the ESSER III SEA Reserve Afterschool set-aside to increase rates for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Program. These funds are reflected in the following resource codes:

  • ESSER III SEA Reserve Afterschool ASES Program, Resource Code 3226
  • ESSER III SEA Reserve Afterschool 21st CCLC Program, Resource Code 3227

Additional information about each of the ESSER funds, including preliminary allocations, may be found at the ESSER I web page, the ESSER II section of the CRRSA Act Funding web page, and the ESSER III section of the ARP Act Funding web page.

All following information is relevant to Year 2 of the ESSER Annual Report open in May 2022 and Year 3 of the ESSER Annual Report open in March 2023, adapted to align with changes to reporting requirements from the U.S. Department of Education (ED).

ESSER III: Use of Funds Details

Provide the amount of LEA expenditures by ESSER III Subgrant fund and activity

The "Amount awarded to the LEA for ESSER III, Resource Code 3213” refers to the 80% of the LEA’s ESSER III allocation that may be used toward any ESSER allowable use category. The “Amount awarded to the LEA for ESSER III, Resource Code 3214” refers to the 20% of the LEA’s ESSER III allocation that must be used to address the impact of lost instructional time (“learning loss”). The “Total Amount Awarded to the LEA for ESSER III” refers to the LEA’s total ESSER III allocation, combining Resource Codes 3213 and 3214. All amounts represent the LEA's allocation as of the last day of the applicable reporting period. The data range for the applicable reporting period is included within the report.

The "Previous ESSER III, Resource Code 3213 Expenditures" field refers to the expenditures reported from this fund source in the previous annual report. The "Previous ESSER III, Resource Code 3214 Expenditures" field refers to the expenditures reported from this fund source in the previous annual report. The "Total Previous Expenditures" field refers to the combined total of ESSER III, Resource Code 3213, and ESSER III, Resource Code 3214, expenditures reported in previous annual reporting. The date range for the expenditures is included within the report.

For each of the expenditure categories in the first column “Amount Expended by Activity (Resource Code 3213),” enter the amount of ESSER III, Resource Code 3213, funds expended during the applicable reporting period. The value may be entered to include a decimal to indicate both dollars and cents. The platform will not allow the inclusion of commas. Each expenditure should be reported ONLY ONCE. The sum of these expenditures must be less than or equal to the ESSER III, Resource Code 3213, amount awarded minus previous expenditures.

For each of the expenditure categories in the second column “Total Amount Expended toward required set-aside to address learning loss (Resource Code 3214),” enter the amount of ESSER III, Resource Code 3214, funds expended during the applicable reporting period. The value may be entered to include a decimal to indicate both dollars and cents. The platform will not allow the inclusion of commas. Each expenditure should be reported ONLY ONCE. The sum of these expenditures must be less than or equal to the ESSER III, Resource Code 3214, amount awarded minus previous expenditures. Please note that if expenditures greater than $0 are reported in this column, there will be additional questions regarding the use of these funds on a future screen.

These two columns (“Amount Expended by Activity [Resource Code 3213]” and “Total Amount Expended toward required set-aside to address learning loss [Resource Code 3214]”) should sum to the total ESSER III mandatory subgrant expenditures. That is, every ESSER III mandatory subgrant expenditure should be counted in either of these columns, but not both. The reported sum of both columns must be less than or equal to the total ESSER III, Resource Codes 3213 and 3214, amount awarded minus previous expenditures.

Expenditures in the second, set-aside column may possibly not sum to 20% of the total ESSER III award in this reporting period. LEAs must expend at least 20% of the ESSER III mandatory subgrant award toward the required set-aside by the time the LEA’s subaward is liquidated, not necessarily during each reporting period.

For the Year 2 ESSER Annual Report, please consider only expenditures that occurred March 13, 2020 – June 30, 2021. For the Year 3 ESSER Annual Report, please consider only expenditures and planned uses of funds for July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022.

GEER I Fund Annual Reporting

The GEER I Fund is a subset of the federal ESF, and was authorized by the CARES Act. Pursuant to Section 18002 of the CARES Act, funding is allocated to states based on a combination of their relative population of school aged individuals and their number of children counted under section 1124(c) of the ESEA funding.

GEER I is also one of three funding sources that make up the California Learning Loss Mitigation Fund (LLMF). The LLMF was created by Sec. 110 of Senate Bill (SB) 98 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Ch. 24, Statutes of 2020) and subsequently amended by Section 59 of SB 820 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Ch. 110, Statutes of 2020). The LLMF is distributed to LEAs based on three separate formulas and is to be used for activities that directly support academic achievement and mitigate learning loss related to COVID-19 school closures. Funds may be used to support individuals served by LEAs, including, but not limited to, those enrolled in a childcare program, California state preschool program, kindergarten, any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, and adult education programs. Funds shall be expended consistent with the purposes outlined in Section 110(d) of SB 98, as amended by SB 820.

The Resource Code for GEER I is 3215.

Additional information about LLMF, including allocations, may be found at the LLMF web page.
