# §641.809. What non-Federal share (matching) requirements apply to the use of SCSEP funds?

- (a) The Department will pay no more than 90 percent of the total cost of activities carried out under a SCSEP grant. (OAA [sec. 502(c)(1)](/cfr/20/502.md?p=c-1)).
- (b) All SCSEP recipients, including Federal agencies if there is no statutory exemption, must provide or ensure that at least 10 percent of the total cost of activities carried out under a SCSEP grant (non-Federal share of costs) consists of allowable costs paid for with non-Federal funds, except as provided in paragraphs [(e)](#e) and [(f)](#f) of this section.
- (c) Recipients must determine the non-Federal share of costs in accordance with [29 CFR 97.24](/cfr/29/97.24.md) for governmental units, or [29 CFR 95.23](/cfr/29/95.23.md) for nonprofit and commercial organizations.
- (d) The non-Federal share of costs may be provided in cash, or in-kind, or a combination of the two. (OAA [§ 502(c)(2)](/cfr/20/502.md?p=c-2)).
- (e) A recipient may not require a sub-recipient or host agency to provide non-Federal resources for the use of the SCSEP project as a condition of entering into a sub-recipient or host agency relationship. This does not preclude a sub-recipient or host agency from voluntarily contributing non-Federal resources for the use of the SCSEP project.
- (f) The Department may pay all of the costs of activities in an emergency or disaster project or a project in an economically distressed area. (OAA [§ 502(c)(1)(B)](/cfr/20/502.md?p=c-1-B)).
