What is the process for verifying job creation/retention?
The U.S. Department of Energy has indicated that a new uniform methodology for counting jobs created or preserved by Recovery Act-funded proposals will be forthcoming. For now, no verification of jobs is needed. DMME does not know if the new DOE methodology will calculate jobs by rule or include requirements for verification. For now, use the rule of thumb provided by DOE for projecting jobs impacts during the application process: Each $92,000 in total spending of federal and non-federal funds (if any) will produce or preserve one job. The DOE estimated benefits calculator on Page 7 of the application calculates one job for each $92,000 of proposed spending.
