This rule removes barriers to service for individuals and increases flexibility for grantees to accomplish project goals and recruit volunteers. Specifically, this rule removes barriers for individuals to serve as AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers in three ways: first, by modernizing what is considered income in the calculation that determines eligibility to receive a stipend; second, by allowing volunteers to continue to receive a stipend when their sponsor places them on administrative leave due to extenuating circumstances that prevent service; and third, by allowing grantees to supplement stipends. This rule reduces burden for AmeriCorps Seniors grantees in two ways: first, it establishes a single 10 percent match value regardless of grant year. Second, this rule allows grantees to choose to pay more than (but not less than) the AmeriCorps-established stipend rates, using non-AmeriCorps funds for the amount that exceeds the AmeriCorps-established rate. These changes will improve grantees' ability to recruit volunteers and allow grantees to devote to program operations resources that would otherwise be devoted to meet increasingly high match requirements. The rule also updates nomenclature to reflect that the Corporation for National and Community Service operates as AmeriCorps and that \"Senior Corps\" is now known as \"AmeriCorps Seniors.\"","document_number":"2024-19348","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/08/30/2024-19348/americorps-seniors-regulation-updates","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-08-30/pdf/2024-19348.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-19348.pdf?1724935516","publication_date":"2024-08-30","agencies":[{"raw_name":"CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE","name":"Corporation for National and Community Service","id":91,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/corporation-for-national-and-community-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/91","parent_id":null,"slug":"corporation-for-national-and-community-service"}],"excerpts":"AmeriCorps.

This includes ensuring that American tax dollars are not wasted or misused, activities performed under Federal awards are consistent with law and policy, and recipients are held accountable when they fail to meet relevant standards. The revisions also aim to ensure that basic American principles of equality and equal opportunity are upheld throughout all stages of the award making process and that unlawful discrimination is no longer permitted. Proposed changes also include providing further clarification on the regulatory status of the OMB requirements and on the process for future updates to the government- wide requirements. Finally, OMB also proposes changes to reduce recipient burden. The listed Federal grant-making agencies propose conforming changes to their respective adopting regulations, or, in the case of some agencies and other entities, establishing new adopting regulations or policies. The proposed changes reflect the administration's commitment to transparency, accountability, and proper oversight for the Federal grantmaking process.
