Payments - URGENT
three very important messages, please read all three:
1. All MOCAL grantees MUST have their final payment request submitted by June 1, NO EXCEPTIONS. This is state money that goes away, we do not get extensions at our level to allow you submissions after the deadline.
2. All MOCAL grantees please be certain you either fully spend your award or notify our office immediately when you know you will not be able to spend your dollars. Again, we must have the dollars fully spent in June or risk the state legislature determining this money is not needed in the future budgets.
3. All grantees: payment requests from our end are reviewed and processed. However, there are only two payment cycles each month. If you miss one, it will be held over until the next payment cycle. We do not and cannot make payments every day. There is a process all requests must go through in our agency once we have approved and forwarded them on.

MADS System Clean Up
MADS has been undergoing significant system maintenance. You may notice that old/no longer in use sites have been removed. DESE is required to keep data for three years following the end of a grant cycle per record retention laws. Therefore, all old and no longer used sites have now been deleted.
Should a need arise for an old site to be re-created, or a future grant award, they will then be added at the time.
We hope you will appreciate not having to comb through all those sites you no longer use.
Please reach out through the MADS helpdesk ticket if something was removed you need or if you have any questions as these updates continue.
