The non-contract and grant (C&G) FY2022-23 Deficit Waiver request form is now available. Completed forms are due by Friday, June 2, 2023. Requests should be reviewed or submitted by DFLs.
As a reminder, all divisions are expected to meet their operating needs within their available funding; waivers should only be requested for exceptional circumstances. Deficits less than $25,000 are not eligible for a waiver request.
To assist in this process, use the fund deficit report in Cal Answers: Dashboards>Finance>Fund Deficits Reporting>Deficits to be Cleared.
Note that you do not need to submit a new request for a previously approved multi-year deficit waiver unless you require a higher waiver amount.
To view waivers that were approved as part of a prior multi-year request, use the waiver report in Cal Answers: Dashboards>Finance>Fund Deficits Reporting>Waivers and Tolerances.
More information about non-C&G deficit resolution policy and processes, including waiver eligibility thresholds, how to clear deficits, and what happens if a deficit is not cleared, is available on the Fiscal closing related webpage.
