The 'Direct Pay as an As of Right Cash Incentive' allows public entities to claim reimbursement for expenditures without needing to apply for a grant, similar to tax filings.
- The incentive is accessed through a process akin to filing taxes, but tailored for public entities.
- Entitlement to the incentive is triggered upon the expenditure of funds, without the need for grant applications.
- It is aimed at public entities, implying that the city does not pay taxes but can still engage in this IRS paperwork to claim the incentive.
- The clarification sheds light on the mechanism of accessing the incentive, not on whether the city is currently taking advantage of it or considers it a new opportunity.

The direct pay as an as of right cash incentive I'm sorry.

I'm very ignorant to this.
1:24:17
Is this something that the city is applying for or taking advantage of?
1:24:21
Or is this something new that the city would then be able to become eligible for?

So when we say as of right, that means when you spend the money, then you're essentially entitled to getting it back.

It's not like applying to a grant.
1:24:36
It's more like filing your taxes except as a public entity.

You don't have taxes, but you'd fill out similar paperwork from the IRS.
