Reporting Requirements: Policies and Training
About
Grantees are required to submit Quarterly Performance Reports (QPRs), Quarterly Narrative Reports (QNRs), and Quarter Financial Reports (9130s) for each quarter the grant is active, unless informed by the Department of Labor (DOL) that the grant is under interim or alternative reporting instructions. All reports are due on the 15th day of the second month following the end of a quarter (e.g., the quarter ends March 31, reports due May 15).
The resources in the following pages will help you to submit compliant quarterly performance reports, troubleshoot common reporting challenges, and stay up to date on all the most recent reporting guidance from DOL.
Key Reporting Resources
Whether you're just getting started with performance reporting or troubleshooting a specific issue, this collection includes the resources that are essential to submit reports to DOL. All staff with responsibility for collecting, tracking, or reporting participant data should ensure they have read or reviewed these resources.

This page includes information about how to access the reporting system, navigate the system interface, and trouble-shoot reporting errors.
