The funds will have an effective date of July 1, 2023—December 31, 2024. These additional funds should be utilized following the same rules as your base ASSETs funding.

These additional grants were made visible to the recipients in ASSIST starting at the end of December 2023. The grants will have a separate grant identification number from your base ASSETs grants and will be easily identifiable in ASSIST; the grant ID will end in the suffix 1X.

The one-time funding is from the ESSER III after-school set-aside that was not fully expended in 2022–23. The U.S. Department of Education required each state to reserve one percent of the ESSER III funding for after school and an additional one percent for summer programs.

More information will be released when the Grant Award Notifications are sent to the field. If you have any questions regarding this email, please reach out to your Regional Fiscal Analyst at the EXLD Regional Contacts.
