Disposition

Whenever a subrecipient wishes to dispose of surplus equipment purchased with grant funds, or change its use, the equipment must either be returned to Victim Assistance or be disposed of within the guidelines of the program.

Equipment with a current per unit fair market value of $5,000 ($10,000 if purchased after 10/1/2024) or less may be retained, sold or otherwise disposed of with no further obligation to Victim Assistance or the Federal awarding agency.

Contact Victim Assistance for instructions regarding the disposal or sale of equipment with a current per-unit fair-market value in excess of $5,000 (or $10,000 after 10/1/2024). A portion of the sales must be sent to Victim Assistance. 

Any equipment (i.e. phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) containing personally identifying client information must be deleted in accordance with industry standards, from the device prior to destruction, or sale. 

There is no time limit on these requirements.
