This is the period in which funds must be spent by the recipient (as long as payment is made to the training site prior to August 31, the money may be used for a class that begins after the August 31 deadline).
- An emergency fund is available for extreme situations, e.g., a rural EMS agency looses one of its three EMTs and must quickly send a new volunteer to an initial class, but neither can afford to do so.
