Payments or adjustments to the original obligations
Expired appropriations are typically available for obligations for a period of five years after the appropriation has expired. After this five-year period, the appropriations are canceled and can no longer be used for obligations. This framework allows agencies to settle outstanding obligations and make necessary adjustments before the funds are permanently removed from their accounts.
Expired appropriations are not available to obligate once they expire (if it's not obligated by the expiration date, they are no longer available). However, the unliquidated obligations (funds already obligated but not expensed) are available to use (or create expenditures) for up to five years from the date the funds expire. The obligated funds must be used for the intent they were they originally obligated.See the link below.

The appropriation would be considered to be in the "lapsed" phase when it is no longer available but has not yet been officially closed. During this phase, the funds cannot be used for new obligations but may still be available for certain adjustments or reversals.

Yes, obligations are legally binding commitments made by federal agencies to spend funds for specific purposes, typically through contract awards. Once an obligation is recorded, the agency is legally required to fulfill the commitment, ensuring the funds are used as designated. These obligations are essential for maintaining accountability and transparency in government spending.

An administrative reservation of funds is a financial mechanism used by organizations to set aside a portion of their budget for specific purposes or future expenditures. This reservation ensures that funds are allocated for planned activities or contingencies, allowing for better financial management and accountability. It helps in preventing overspending and ensures that resources are available when needed for designated projects or obligations.
The three general restrictions on the authority to obligate appropriated funds are: first, funds must be used only for the purpose specified by Congress in the appropriation; second, obligations cannot exceed the amount appropriated; and third, funds must be obligated within the time frame established by the appropriation act, ensuring that they are spent in a timely manner. These restrictions ensure accountability and compliance with legislative intent.
