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”.
Ms home corp told me to wait until 12/24 for the check since my batch date was 12/10.... I'm waiting still too
Mine just updated to batched tonight…
You should get it soon then!!! Mine said batched on 12/10 it shows the check being delivered tomorrow thank goodness. All the call center people told me absolutely wrong. this is my first go around with it so I wasn't sure how it would go. I first applied on 10/24.
How long was the wait for your check?
So I got a batch date on 12/10 I got the check on 12/21 by mail
What part of ms are you located in?

Ok so FINALLY my option to recertification popped up! BUT when they sent the rental check it was for the 5 months past due (Aug to Dec) PLUS enough for the next 3 months. On the space that asks Enter starting month: Do I put April??
yes I would start with April. If you're covered until March. My lady was only able to do oct - dec & jan - march separately. I want to recertify just don't know when it'll pop up?

Was it close to when your paid months ended or not?
I know goverment assistace can be slow . Especially in MS , just be patient . I'm sure our reviewers are just as annoying as us . It sounded like a lady @ the call centerwas crying when I called , I do feel bad for them . The hold time is long , but remember , they are talking to rude people probably all day . I bet it is exhausting ...

I understand that. All I was wanting to know is when the recertification tab popped up on your account. That's all

Gotcha gotcha lol no worries
They deposited 1 penny yesterday afternoon but that was it... im just wondering how long after it says batched for it to show up in acct
Took my landlord two days after that penny deposit
For anyone whose already been approved and received payment for future months, it a second check to wait on or do they send it in one lump sum for rent?
It’s two separate amounts but mine were sent at the same time
Is this for the Recertification? I have recertified and been approved. My application says application has been paid. How long after that should my landlord receive payment
I just applied 12/22....Based on everyone's posts I see I have a long waiting process 😩
Yeah, I applied 10/24/2021 & got assigned a processor on 12/07/2021.. it is a long process but hang in there girl

Am getting tired too I finally talk with someone today and she said she sent a request for them to look at my stuff am just trying to stay patient. But I hope everyone gey theirs paid soon.
@Ferial Alfarran I received the check on 12/18. My status changed to paid today. There still has been no payments to my utility companies. The recertification box popped up today (12/29).
As you can see I'm new to this. I'm going to try to hang in there Ferial. So basically there's no point of checking the processor daily 🤦♀️
Well, I would check the online portal every day just in case because when I got my first response I wasn't notified because the email went to spam. Like it notified me "your processor sent you an email in your portal" and I wouldn't have known if I didn't check the portal because it went to my spam. I only realized because I was checking the portal everyday for an update. I read others missed the email too and it went to their spam and their processor was waiting for weeks for a response to finish the application and issue payment.

That's interesting... my statuses all say "processing" yeah my utilities haven't been paid either. Not sure how they do that process but I was told it's handled by a different department?? Not sure
