HFS CARES Final Reporting Template

Post-award reporting will occur through the HFS CARES Portal. Additional details on the submission of your final report, the final reporting template and the template for the required cover letter can be found at the links below:

Round 1 Subrecipients

HFS CARES Portal accounts were created for subrecipients who received a Round 1 payment but did not register through the HFS CARES Portal. Accounts were created using the email address used by subrecipients to submit their executed subaward agreement. Notification emails will be sent to these email addresses from the HFS CARES Portal, which will include instructions on how to complete the account registration and set your account password. Once completed, you will be able to modify or change the primary contact information and contact email, if necessary. 

Round 1 subrecipients who have not received an email notification from the HFS CARES Portal or need assistance to identify the email address associated with their account should contact HFS for assistance. Call-in assistance is available from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday at 866-385-0600. Call center support is available in English and Spanish. Providers may also send questions regarding the CARES payments via email to HFS.CARES@illinois.gov.

 

The CURE ID of your subaward will be needed to allow our team to identify the email address associated with your account. The CURE ID is the Unique Identifier found on the first page of your subaward agreement.

 

Round 1 subrecipients whose accounts require updates will still be able to access the final reporting template and required cover letter template through the links identified above and may begin preparing their report and gathering the required supporting documentation.
