RAMP/ERA Program in Mississippi

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 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”.

    To all: I started this journey on 4/30 when I submitted my app. It took until last Tuesday 8/3  to receive the funds.

    If you are at this step:

    My application status read “application approved”

    Then after a week it read “ payment processing” there was a payment schedule with my landlord name under status. My landlord did not want to participate so I had uploaded a letter she signed stating she did not want to and then also uploaded my schedule form for my bank. You can find that firm under landlord info on the website for RAMP ERA. 
    One week after that the landlord name was gone and the payment schedule read “processed”

    I kept checking portal every day to see if it had updated. It took about a week after that for the money to go into my Acct. But, my status still reads “payment processing” 

    They paid for 4 months of back rent and one month ahead.

    I have reapplied for future payments, (using a different email address) and also the months that I needed back payment. I did not realize I could ask for back missed payments. You can go all the way back to 3/2020. 
    My utilities payment has still not been paid. I was told by customer service that it takes longer to process that portion. She asked if I had a disconnect date, which I did. Then she took my name, the date my electricity would be turned off and my Acct number to the utility and said she would forward this info to processor.
    I hope this helps y’all.

    I wasn’t asked to submit that she wouldn’t be participating will this hold up my money?

    @Jayla Windham I was told by others and someone at customer service to upload a letter stating my landlord did hit wish to participate. Earlier in my application process I uploaded a letter that I wrote and then again another letter with my landlord’s signature. 
    I would call and ask? Just to be sure? It seems every application is different?

    @Elaysha Maxwell

    I would say a week from the day it stated “processed” depending on your bank!

    Her name is still showing as if she’s participating so I’ll be sure to call them, thanks so much!

    @Elaysha then I would have your landlord check into the portal. She can see if it states “paid”?

    I would definitely think a week after it states “processed” next to the amount and the landlords name. It just depends now on when it said that!

      @Breona Pringle Once you receive the recertification link and fill it out and upload it how will you know that they have received it

    @Elaysha Maxwell how long have you been in approved status? Sunday made a week for me. My top says pending approval but bottoms says processed and Landlord status is paid. Yet, I’m still waiting for funds. Also, the lady said up to 4 weeks to receive payments. Mine are dated for the 6th of August. She also said once you receive the approval letter with the amount you should receive it soon after.
