The Governor has authorized the allocation and expenditure of $40 millionmtotal, $32 million to municipalities and $8 million to counties, to cover eligiblemCOVID-19-related expenses incurred from March 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020.mEligible reimbursements through other federal sources, including FEMA andmany state or local match must be excluded. These amounts have beenmallocated and made available to all municipalities and counties based on 2018mpopulation figures from the Office of Strategic Initiatives. The allocatedamounts can be found on the website of the Governor’s Office for Emergency Relief and Recovery (GOFERR) (www.goferr.nh.gov).

Local governments will only be reimbursed for COVID-19-related expenses actually incurred, but only up to the amounts allocated based on population figures. No local government can receive total reimbursements from the GOFERR Coronavirus Relief Fund exceeding its allocated amount. For example, if $100,000 was allocated to Municipality A, Municipality A could not be reimbursed for eligible expenses totaling more than $100,000, even if Municipality A’s eligible expenses from March 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020 amount to $200,000. Any amount allocated that exceeds the eligible expenses submitted for reimbursement by a local government from March 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020, will, after August 31, 2020, lapse back to the GOFERR Coronavirus Relief Fund to be available to the State for other disbursement.

In September, local governments will be required to estimate the additional COVID-19-related expenses they will

incur through December 31, 2020. GOFERR will use this information in considering whether further relief might be

needed after August 31, 2020.
