Any salary and fringe benefit costs higher than entry-level that your agency pays a CHP-funded officer must be paid with local funds. Your agency is required to use CHP award funds for the specific hiring categories awarded. Funding under this program may be used for the following categories: • Hiring new officers, which includes filling existing officer vacancies that are no longer funded in your agency's budget; • Rehiring officers laid off by any jurisdiction as a result of state, local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) budget reductions; and/or • Rehiring officers who were, at the time of award application, scheduled to be laid off (by your jurisdiction) on a specific future date as a result of state, local, or BIA budget reductions If your agency's local fiscal conditions have changed and your agency needs to change one or more of the funded hiring categories, your agency should request an award modification and receive prior approval before spending CHP funding under the new category. The Financial Clearance Memorandum (FCM), included in your award package, specifies the amount of CHP funds awarded to your agency. You should carefully review your FCM, which contains the final officer salary and fringe benefit categories and amounts for which your agency was approved.
