Must the Reporting Entity have been in receipt of purchases made using Provider Relief Fund Payments and/or ARP Rural in order for the expense to be considered eligible for reimbursement?

No. For purchases of tangible items made using Provider Relief Fund and/or ARP Rural payments, the purchase does not need to be in the Reporting Entity’s possession (i.e., backordered personal protective equipment, capital equipment) to be considered an eligible expense. However, the costs must have been incurred before the Deadline to Use Funds. Providers must follow their basis of accounting (e.g., cash, accrual, or modified accrual) to determine expenses.
