To maintain DBE certification
Every year, each Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Owner (SEDO) relied upon for DBE eligibility must complete, sign, and submit the
Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) form during the firm's Certification Anniversary month certifying they are still eligible to be a certified DBE.
- This DOE form must be filled out and submitted during the firm’s anniversary month each year,
and
- The firm must also submit their prior year federal business tax returns,
or
- A signed statement from the company's accountant along with your firm's IRS Form 7004 or
DBE Request for Tax Filing Extension form including a scheduled date for submittal of prior year business taxes,
or
- A signed statement of verification from the company's bookkeeper along with your firm's IRS Form 7004 or DBE Request for Tax Filing Extension form including a scheduled date for submittal of prior year business taxes.
Certified DBEs are required to notify the DBE office in writing within 30 days of changes in circumstances that could affect their eligibility to qualify for DBE certification, or changes to the information provided in their application, including changes to ownership and contact information.
Failure to comply with the above requisites may result in your firm’s decertification.
