Budget-Staff Update Worksheet

The Budget-Staff Update Worksheet (Personnel) is an administrative tool used by grant recipients to manage and document changes to personnel funded by Office of Crime Victim Advocacy (OCVA) grants. It allows agencies to add new staff or subcontractors to a grant by capturing details such as name, grant type (e.g., Core, Prevention, CSS), service role, start date, salary, and FTE (Full-Time Equivalent). The form also includes a section for releasing staff from a grant. Additionally, it serves as a compliance check, requiring the user to certify that new staff meet specific grant training requirements and providing space to record the dates that initial training hours were met. For specialized roles like Therapists, Supervisors, or CSAP Directors, the form prompts for additional documentation such as resumes, licensure verification, or specific supplemental forms.

OCVA Line Item Adjustment Form

The Line Item Adjustment Form is a formal administrative document used by the Office of Crime Victim Advocacy (OCVA) for managing grant budgets. It allows subrecipients to request the movement of specific dollar amounts between different line items within a budget category (e.g., shifting funds from "Salaries" to "Benefits" or "Goods and Services"). The form requires a clear rationale explaining why funds have become available in one area—such as a staff vacancy—and why they are now needed in another—such as covering increased benefit rates or providing Emergency Financial Assistance (EFA) to clients.

OCVA Sexual Assault Services: Allowable and Unallowable Costs

The Allowable Costs for SA Grantees is a reference guide updated in August 2020 by the Washington State Office of Crime Victims Advocacy (OCVA). It provides a non-exhaustive list of services, activities, and organizational expenses that are eligible or ineligible for reimbursement under OCVA Sexual Assault (SA) grants. The document outlines specific conditions for allowable expenses, such as the requirement that single audits be billed to "Goods and Services" while other audit costs go to "Indirect". It also details victim-centered expenses like Emergency Financial Assistance (EFA), legal assistance for immigration relief (e.g., T- and U-Visas), and compensation for culturally specific organizations. Grantees are reminded that they may only bill for costs specifically included in their approved grant budget.
