Has any LL had success with receiving CERA payment?

[Jessie L. Hall]

I have a tenant who is claiming Covid assistance, and my PM has filed with CERA and we are just waiting for payment.  My PM has reached out to their office as we are told a "check" will be sent or we cna possible come by a local office to pick it up.  

Any guidance or information that you have found helpful? 

Thanks, 

Jessie

All you can do is wait. I've had over 50 applications and we set it up so payments are directly deposited into our account.

@Nathan Gesner Thanks Nathan.  Odd, PM never referenced direct deposit and only said they were waiting on a physical check.  Are you working and staying with your tenants once you get back payments or ending the lease?

 Some states may be different. Mine encourages direct deposit and it was easy to set up.

I am still working with tenants that use assistance, as long as they keep up.

Thanks, I will contact my PM and check on direct deposit.  Best of luck with your tenants.

@Nathan Gesner Thought I would provide a good news update and hopefully provide encouragement to all that may still be pending CERA.  I received my funds via auto deposit this week.  I was approved in June and was originally told 2-3 weeks, which translates to 4 months[who knew, LOL]. 

If it helps, I can say that I just started calling CERA weekly to check for any updates and was told each time that it was pending distribution.  I was able to get through relatively quickly[longest hold 15-20min] and everyone I spoke to was polite.

Wishing all the best to everyone.  

Feeling Blessed!
