Compliance Requirements - Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking (G)

Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking (G)

This section covers 3 compliance requirements which are focused on the performance of the recipient. They may require recipients to provide a level of contributions to a Federal program, to maintain specific levels of performance or achievement, or to restrict the amount of Federal funds used for a specific purpose. Failure to meet these requirements may result in either the limitation of future funds or the termination of the assistance altogether. The specific requirements for matching, level of effort, and earmarking are unique to each Federal program and are found in the laws, regulations, and the provisions of contract or grant agreements pertaining to the program.
