Has anyone applied for funds through the Rental Assistance Program in Mississippi?  Do you know if any of the funds have been disbursed at this point, or what the time line might be.

 I applied for a tenant my app is now saying application pending approval is that a good sign 

 Yes! By tomorrow the application should say “Application in QC review”. My QC review took two days before the status was changed to “Application Approved”.

Finally got someone on the phone after 30 mins holding. They told me why i only got 1 month payment BUT they did say my recertification is under review already(hopefully that’s true). 

@Nyna Davis 

Can you please tell me why you only received 1 month of payment ? Mine show only 2 payments when it should've been 6 . How did you get the remaining amount of your back pay ?

@Dongieux Shelton that’s absolutely terrible 😞 I am so sorry to hear that it’s taking that long for you . I mean if it’s approved what in Gods name could be taking so long ! Have you gotten the batched message ? I think I’d be calling and emailing the Governor that’s a lot of money for them to be holding up . Are you sure they didn’t send a check and perhaps it got lost in the mail ?

Have you received any funds before the re certification 
No this is my first time applying, I never submitted recertification because landlord hasn't been paid for the one which says application paid

 That's weird. From all the ones I've seen on here, when it says application paid, it is green and it says processed. But hang in there, u weren't denied. So it's coming 🤞

@Account Closed yes I applied on 12/02/2021 it went to in review on 01/11 then updated to pending approval for like a week then went back in review and been like that since for a month now but today it’s either glitching or something because it’s going from in review back to application submitted.

Update !!! landlord finally received deposit in bank account for 2 payments today ! 

Here is a breakdown of how the process went for me 

12/28 Applied 

02/09 Waiting for Approval

02/10 Qc Review 

02/11 Processed and Paid messages 

02/13 Landlord received test deposits 

02/14 Batched 

02/18 landlord paid 

Status is still reading batched and its never updated to anything else other than what I've stated above . DIdn't wait for message to pop up to recertify because I'm still 4 mos behind in rent being that they only paid 2 mos . I still don't understand how that happened , However I just used a different email to recertify and verify my landlord , New application is now stating Application Submitted with new ID number . I certainly hope this helps someone . Especially those of you that have been waiting a longtime . Oh I almost forgot to mention that I spoke to a representative on 02/17 and she mentioned that depending on what county you live in has played a major part in the process . I don't understand that logic but that's exactly what she said .

@Tasha Mac Thank you so much it was quite a wait but once the ball started rolling it went pretty quick ! Hopefully the recertification process goes just as a smoothly and quick ! Surely you should be hearing something soon I’m not sure what to think about what the rep said about counties but I can’t help to wonder if it’s really true . I live in DeSoto County what County are you in ?

 I live in Coahoma County. I also heard if u request a couple of months of back-pay or only a couple of months of prospective pay (future payments), then the process is also faster
