WCMA GOES THROUGH A 'DOUBLE APPROVAL' PROCESS FOR GRANTS, PRIOR TO ISSUING CHECKS TO GRANT AWARDEES, AND BEFORE WCMA CAN BE REIMBURSED. FOR ALL GRANTS, WCMA MUST ADHERE TO INCREDIBLY STRICT DOCUMENTATION POLICIES, AND DOES NOT RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT UNTIL THE AWARDING STATE AGENCY REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE DOCUMENTATION. FOR ALL GRANTS, AWARDEES AND CONSULTANTS SUBMIT FORMAL REQUESTS FOR REIMBURSEMENT, INCLUDING REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION, WHICH COULD INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: INVOICES AND RECEIPTS (WITH CLEAR DATES, DETAILS OF ITEMS PURCHASED, AND PROOF OF PAYMENT), CONSULTING HOUR LOGS, WRITTEN NARRATIVES (WHEN REQUIRED) AND WCMA CREATED BUDGET DOCUMENTS (WHEN REQUIRED). UPON APPROVAL OF THESE DOCUMENTS (BY WCMA DIRECTOR OF GRANTS AND SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMS), ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION IS SUBMITTED TO THE ALIGNED FUNDING AGENCY, INCLUDING THE OFFICIAL REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST FORMS. THE FUNDING AGENCIES REVIEW REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTS, AND ONCE APPROVED, ACH PAYMENT IS MADE TO WCMA.
