Balances available Clause Samples

The "Balances available" clause defines how and when funds or assets are considered available for use or withdrawal within an account or under an agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the timing and conditions under which deposited funds become accessible, such as after the clearance of checks or settlement of transactions. By specifying these details, the clause helps prevent disputes over access to funds and ensures both parties understand when balances can be relied upon for payments or transfers.
Balances available. (a) The balance of an appropriation or fund limited for obligation to a definite period is available only for payment of expenses properly incurred during the period of availability or to complete contracts properly made within that period of availability and obligated consistent with section 1501 of this title. However, the ap- propriation or fund is not available for expendi- ture for a period beyond the period otherwise authorized by law. (b) A provision of law requiring that the bal- ance of an appropriation or fund be returned to the general fund of the Treasury at the end of a definite period does not affect the status of law- suits or rights of action involving the right to an amount payable from the balance.
