9  financial data to performance accomplishments of the award
10  and, when applicable, must require recipients and
11  subrecipients to provide cost information to demonstrate
12  cost-effective practices. The recipient's and
13  subrecipient's performance should be measured in a way
14  that will help the State agency to improve program
15  outcomes, share lessons learned, and spread the adoption
16  of promising practices; and
17  (2) provide recipients and subrecipients with clear
18  performance goals, indicators, and milestones and must
19  establish performance reporting frequency and content to
20  not only allow the State agency to understand the
21  recipient's progress, but also to facilitate
22  identification of promising practices among recipients and
23  subrecipients and build the evidence upon which the State
24  agency's program and performance decisions are made. The
25  frequency of reports on performance goals, indicators, and

10  (4) (c-6) Upon notification by the Grant Transparency
11  and Accountability Unit that a stop payment order has been
12  requested by a State grant-making agency, each State
13  grant-making agency who has issued a grant to that
14  recipient or subrecipient shall determine if it remains in
15  the best interests of the State to continue to issue
16  payments to the recipient or subrecipient.
17  (d) The Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall
18  provide such advice and technical assistance to the State
19  grant-making agencies as is necessary or indicated in order to
20  ensure compliance with this Act.
21  (e) In accordance with this Act and the Illinois State
22  Collection Act of 1986, refunds required under the Grant Funds
23  Recovery Act may be referred to the Comptroller's offset
