Automated Lapse of Unencumbered Balances

By Oct. 30 each year, all agencies must lapse appropriation balances above the amount needed to satisfy any outstanding binding encumbrances and/or payables. (The recommended due date for GR consolidated agencies is Sept. 30.)

The Comptroller’s office must lapse all unencumbered nonconstruction appropriation balances for past appropriation years each Nov. 1. An automatic lapse program will run in USAS as early as the Nov. 1 nightly cycle.

Agencies must review appropriation balances for accuracy before the lapse process. See Reviewing Appropriation Balances Prior to UB or Lapsing in APS 018 for full details.
