Entering Data on the Direct Benefit Continued (Mc02) Screen

This screen must be completed for all direct benefit activities, those activities having national objectives of LMC, LMCMC, LMCSV, LMH, LMHSP, LMJ, LMJFI, and LMJP. Report cumulative accomplishment data on this screen; the data on this screen should reflect the total accomplishments achieved since the inception of the activity. It is recommended that grantees update accomplishments on this screen as they occur or quarterly, at a minimum. However, grantees are required to report accomplishments at the completion of an activity and/or at the end of their program year, whichever occurs first.

Depending on whether persons or households (P or H) was selected on the Direct Benefit Screen (MAO5), the TOTAL BENEFICIARIES number is carried forward to the MC02 screen as Counts by Persons or Counts by Households. When Counts by Persons are reported, enter persons for the following fields on this screen. When Counts by Households are reported, enter households for the following fields.

TOTAL LOW/MOD BENEFICIARIES: Enter the number of persons or households that have benefited from this activity and whose income does not exceed 80 percent of the median family income.

PERCENTAGE OF LOW/MOD BENEFICIARIES: Calculated automatically.
