eRETA eNCORE! This session is an encore presentation of our January 9, 2018 event. Join the Digital Reimbursable Work Authorization (RWA) Movement - Use eRETA to Enter, Digitally Sign, and Submit RWAs Electronically to GSA! After going live with new external RWA Entry and Tracking Application (eRETA) features in May 2017, demand for eRETA access has been high. The eRETA community has now swelled past 1000 customer agency users. Many of you have asked for an additional live training demonstration and as a holiday gift to you we are delivering. GSA's eRETA allows customer agencies to enter requests for new projects or services, obtain a unique tracking number, and route it to the appropriate GSA region immediately. GSA will then assign a project manager to begin developing your project/service needs and cost estimates. Additionally, eRETA allows customer agencies to enter their entire RWA (the equivalent of page 1 of the 2957 Form) directly into our database, ensuring data is correctly entered and not mistakenly omitted. All information entered into eRETA eventually flows to future RWA billing statements. eRETA also permits customer agency users to submit amendment requests to GSA for all RWAs (past and present). Combined with GSA's new RWA Digital Signature Solution, customer agencies can now go completely electronic. Don't want to wait for this live training demo to begin entering your RWAs online in eRETA? No problem. Go to www.gsa.gov/ereta and select the "eRETA Training Materials" tab on the left. There you can download the "User Guide - Submitting RWA Work Requests to GSA in eRETA" OR watch either of the "Video Training Demos" recorded from a previous live training session. |

Financing Change - GSA's Consolidation Fund GSA began the Consolidation Fund Program in FY14 as a way to assist our customer agencies to reduce their rental payments and footprints while optimizing their work environments. Since its inception, the program has funded 78 projects and helped agencies reduce their annual rent by more than $65 million. The annual Consolidation Fund Program allows federal agencies to use no-year funds for shell and tenant improvement (TI) costs on projects that reduce annual rent and improve office utilization rates (UR). Since available funding is limited, and competitive, attend this session to learn how your agency can build a strong business case to support your application for Consolidation Funding to enable your workplace evolution. |
