When is the APP submitted?

• A. With the budget submission
• B. Before the budget submission
• C. During the budget submission
• D. After the budget submission

Answer: (A)

Within the budgeting process, the Annual Program Plan is submitted with the budget submission. This pairing lets program plans, requirements, and funding requests be reviewed together, so decision-makers can see how the proposed resources will support the intended programs. Submitting the APP alongside the budget ensures alignment and prevents proposing funding based on incomplete program details or delaying review.
