RETROACTIVE CONTRACTS:

A retroactive contract occurs when an agency fails to have the necessary approval and paperwork completed before the contractor begins work and before the contract is registered.

Retroactive contracts result in severe hardship to contractors because payments cannot
be made until the contracts have been submitted to, and registered by, the Comptroller's Office.

In most instances, a retroactive contract will not impact a vendor for the first 30 days. This is because contractors are usually not due a payment until after the first month of work. Therefore, the chart below allows for a 30 day "grace period" before a contract is included as late.

This chart only represents contracts for Client Services, such as, day and foster care, senior citizen centers, mental and medical health services, etc. Retroactive contracts are most often found in these types of contracts.
