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 6 weeks ago and haven’t received any funds. The online portal is suppose to help you track the status of your application, but mines still say application submitted after 6 weeks. I tried calling the toll free number and speaking to someone directly. They’re not disclosing any information. Just telling you to use the portal to monitor your application.
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”.
My landlord receive payment two weeks ago but nothing on my utilities yet and they supposedly sent it out for payment week before on 10/15. I don't know because they sent him a check instead of direct deposit what we signed up for. I wonder will they be sending a check for utilities even though it's almost been a month
Has anyone been stuck on Application Paid but still has not received payment? My Application has been paid for going on 4 weeks now, but never actually received payment. When I called Ramp on last week, they advised to allow up to 4 weeks, other statuses that I read shows that Application is Paid one day then within about 2-3 days their funds are received. The process is so inconsistent.
When mine said 0aid it was about three days before I got the check they sent it to me instead of my landlord then I recertified and have heard nothing so now he is on my back again and wanting me to move
@Larry Crews the same situation with me, then the landlords act as if they don't have access to the portal nor access to be able to confirm that it is in fact paid or pending payment. As part of the agreement of working with Ramp they are not suppose to try and evict you at least that's what they documentation show that they must not evict following at least 90 days from the last time they received payment or you being approved. I understand the landlord's concern but my Lord, the payment process and application process will have anyone stressed out. I pray that something will happen soon. Good luck to you. Thanks for responding.
I emailed them and I got a reply back saying they got my recertication and are working on it and since my landlord is participating in it then he cant make me move because he signed paperwork stating he would wait so if he says anything else I'm going to show him the email I got from them so I feel better now
@Larry Crews I have emailed and never get a response. I tried posting the email address here that I used and got an Error message telling me I couldn't post the email address because it's personal and prohibited. This makes no sense at all and it is a very stressful process when no one will respond
I understand your concern I was sweating it myself because my wife has had 4 surgeries in five month and now is fighting phunonia and I'm 60 years old so who is going to hire me I'm a liability so we live off of her disability and it's tough
@Nichole Townsend Good for you girl. That is a blessing. I didn't get additional months either when I first applied. They just told me to reapply for them.
@Michelle Joe my status said application had been paid for 2 in a half months before they even paid anything they just paid my light bill last month I recertified a month ago still nothing they haven’t updated it or anything
@Tomeka Bracey thank you for your response. I'm grateful for any assistance provided, but the process of getting it is ridiculous then each person, application, and process is different. I'm patiently waiting while dealing with a landlord that acts as if they don't understand how the program works yet they agreed to the process and everyday an additional late fee is added to my account. Good Luck!!
@Larry Crews, I know right! Maybe that's how I need to react to mine the same way by ignoring them or when they write me a notice just write on the notice...I KNOW!!!!!!! and post it on their door. I was told by RAMP that they are not suppose to pressure the tenants because once they agreed to the program that it pretty much secures both us and them as far as receiving payments.
