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”.
@Teresa Raimey I applied over 5 months ago, and NOTHING. I moved from application received after 6 weeks to application under review with a message in the portal asking me to submit my recent utility bills. I did that the same day I received the message. Here I am 5 MONTHS later and no one knows a thing. No one I call or email answers my questions. No one has sent a message on the portal since July when they asked me to upload the most recent utilities. In fact my water and power were disconnected due to non payment even AFTER I reached out and asked them to PLEASE help. I only received help with utilities after I sent a message in this forum and someone was kind enough to give me the email address to the person handling utility disconnect payments. I am 6 months behind on rent and cannot get ANYONE at RAMP to respond. I have sent all documents needed. It’s very hard to see others being helped after only a 2/3 month wait, and some even quicker than that!
I applied back in June. For a couple months, my application was stuck at Application Submitted. Then for about 3 months, it was stuck at Application Pending Approval. 6 months later, my status reached Batched. Literally yesterday, I received a check in the mail. I don't know how they determine who's applications get processed first but maybe 6 months is max waiting time.
