(a) Upon written request by the Sponsoring Agency DHS will reopen the time period for submission of a request for reimbursement after the Sponsoring Agency has submitted its request for reimbursement, if:
- (1) The salary or wage rate applicable to the period of an Activation is retroactively changed due to the execution of a collective bargaining agreement, or due to the adoption of a generally applicable State or local law, ordinance or wage order or a cost-of-living adjustment;
- (2) The Sponsoring Agency or any Participating Agency incurs an additional cost because of a legally-binding determination; or
- (3) The Deputy Director determines that other extenuating circumstances existed that prevented the Sponsoring Agency from including the adjustment of costs in its original submission.
- (c) The Sponsoring Agency must notify DHS as early as practicable that it anticipates such a request.
