18 Miss. Code. R. 8-1.1-1 - Introduction

The Subgrant Manual has been prepared to provide uniform procedures and guidance for the administration of subgrants awarded by the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS). The manual serves a three-fold purpose:

1. To ensure Subgrantee funds are used for the purposes for which they are awarded;

2. To safeguard public monies to the greatest extent possible; and

3. To provide guidance to Subgrantees in establishing and maintaining sound business accounting procedures.

This document serves as a guide in monitoring MDHS and/or federally funded programs administered by Subgrantees. It is intended to identify important requirements that MDHS, as both a grantor and pass-through entity for program funds, will monitor and provide reasonable assurance that Subgrantees are in compliance with all applicable requirements.

An electronic copy of the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ( 2 C.F.R. §200 ) is available online at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-II/part-200.

The Subgrant Manual and all forms referenced and associated with each chapter of this manual are available online at https://www.mdhs.ms.gov/.

ALL MDHS SUBGRANTEES AND ANY LOWER-TIER SUBRECIPIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE DIRECTIVES SET OUT IN THIS MANUAL AND ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
