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”.

    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 .



     Congrats 🎉🎉🎉....I applied 12/22 Under review 02/07 Nothing else happening 😩

    @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

    @Tasha Mac Sounds about right but I requested 6 mos of back pay and somehow only ended up with 2 payments so I did the recertification for the remaining 4 mos . I wonder if they will pay the 3 mos future payments as well ? 


     Good luck on your recert. I think they will pay the three additional months. They say it's based on the availability of funds 🤷‍♀️ 

    @Tasha Mac Thank you so much ! I hope things start moving along for you soon . It's ok if they don't pay the additional months I just hope they're able to assist with the remaining part of the back pay lol

    @Laura Swartz I am also looking for information on recertification. I applied in December and still no information. A friend of mine did hers a week before mine and has gotten her approval. I'm still waiting. Calling them makes no difference it seems.

    @Laura, I don't even know who my processor is. Also, they are now saying that Pearl River Valley Opportunity, Inc is handling recertifications. But no one there answers the phone.

    It’s strange my dear 

     I called them they said reps don't have access to payment department or information 


     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 🤞

    I'm in green too.

    I have pretty much given up on them, been approved for payment since Nov 16 and nothing. 

    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 strange you might have been paid either check and you didn’t get it  

    @Tasha Mac if a check was mailed and then lost, who would she contact?

    I would contact MHC, but if the payment is saying pending I don't think they have released the funds.

    I just wanted to post for all those that are still waiting I applied on 1/11/22 and it took 5 weeks for someone to finally review it on 2/21/22 requesting info gave it to them on 2/23 it changed to review app today 2/25 status changed to QC review with a payment schedule posted that showed 3 pending amounts. 1 is to our electric company that was post dated for 2/15 so I'll have to call on that from my understanding it takes longer for the electric  2 for my landlord with today's date 2/25  HOWEVER with that being said about 10 min ago my landlord emailed me to let me know that they received the money and I'm now paid up until June/July. I think they have 1 more payment coming there way. I just checked my account and sure enough it still says QC review but now where my landlord info is the status is green and says processed while the electric still shows pending. My landlord did sign up to participate they had other tenants using assistance that's how I found out about it. I don't know if that is what helped to speed up the process or not. I hope this helps all of you who are still waiting or in limbo it takes a while but they do eventually pay!

    It didn’t take long for you at all I’m happy it was a quick process for you but on the other hand for me I applied on 12/02/21 went under review 01/11/22 then went to pending approval same day and stayed like that for about a week then went back to under review and been like that since and can’t seem to get any updates or anything at this point just stuck

    Might be because my landlord opted out so I guess that’s why it’s taking so long

     I'm sorry you arent having any luck ATM. Maybe mine went through a little quicker because my landlord was already participating in the program... And we were only was behind for the month of Jan at the time I applied didn't realize it would take so long otherwise I would have requested future payments so that was all we requested for was Jan and then they approved us for more. I wish I had better advice to give you. They should give us the email.or extension of the person who sends us the emails then we would always have the same point of contact. Good luck! I hope things work out for you and they update your stuff ASAP.
