I had 1199A updated on 10/23 and no award as of yet.

SLY4420,

Have you recieved the 10 q's?

[SLY4420]

SLY4420,

Have you recieved the 10 q's?

Yep, Questions on 10/26. I believe there were quite a few of us on here with that same date.

[mitchkrat]

Recieved our reduction on 11/24 and we will be awarded tomorrow (12/8). :)

[rbh1957]

Received 1199A on 11/14/2006 over three week now and no questions! Should I be bitting my nails?

[SLY4420]

Recieved our reduction on 11/24 and we will be awarded tomorrow (12/8). :)

Good for you, sucks for me. When did you get the original 1199a?

[CordovaFire]

A department I wrote for had 1199A in Sept. Got questions 10/18. Reduction on 11/24. Still no word.

We got our award # on our 1199a from 2004 on 10/28/2006 and we 10 questions on 11/5/2006, reduction on 11/22, award 12/8/2006.

If you got the 1199a update - you should be in the $$$ - one thing that was holding this years grant up was that I forgot to file the end of year report on our 2005 grant. Once I filed it I got the reduction notice.

Good luck to all!

[SLY4420]

Well, that means the timelines aren't exactly matching up this year.

My 2004 grant has been closed out, not sure what the holdup is.

This grant was awarded 12/8/06. We never got a phone call, just saw it when it was posted on the Web.

[BC79er]

For the 4 I worked with that got announced on 12/8 the 1199As came on 9/5, 9/7, and 2 on 10/30. Reductions on the 1st two. Still have 1 left from September not awarded.

Our timeline so far: nothing, nadda, squat and few other choice words...

Ditto - same story here

[kd5smn]

We recieved our 1199A on 10/25, our 10 questions on 10/26, and reduction notice 12/1. We recieved the call today that we will be awarded Friday 12/15.

[rbh1957]

Updated 1199A on 11/14/2006
call from DHS on 12/13/2006 asking why we had not answered the questions, answer was we never got them. On 12/12/2006 I had e-mailed the help desk asking if the questions had been sent, I was told the questions would be e-mailed if we were to receive them. I thought they might be more help. But anyway were one step closer. :)

[BC79er]

Helpdesk handles tech support only. FPSs are the ones that handle application stuff like whether or not the questions got sent.

Could be worse, my company changed the name from Helpcenter to Customer Care Center. Because they can't help so they didn't want to confuse the customers, but at least they care... :rolleyes:

[Greenacres2]

Got that resume dusted off Brian?? You're getting out there a bit!! On the plus side--i read an article this morning that ex-employees are being looked on with favor to return. :D :D :D :D

earl (just razzin' you--please take no offense)

[BC79er]

None taken. I don't work in that department. I'd pity Tech Services more, they're the ones that have to keep up with the revolving door of employees down there. :D

Plus I'd get fired in no time, people calling up asking where the eyes are on the printer so they can show it to the CPU since it keeps saying it can't "see" the printer... Many slaps would be delivered through the phone. :)

We recieved our 1199A on 10/25, our 10 questions on 10/26, and reduction notice 12/1. We recieved the call today that we will be awarded Friday 12/15.

My 1199A and 10Qs were the same as yours, and I will be awarded this week as well.

Where do you get your inside info ? I am from a small town in south central PA and have received nothing as of yet. Tried to Email you however it won't allow me.

[BC79er]

John made nice with some of the Congressfolks. ;)

They get the list of Friday announcements on Wednesday. Some of them share.

[wfdmilo]

So are we looking at about 6 weeks between 10 q's and award? Mine came on 11/22 and every Friday I watch the awards roll out. Anybody else get 1199 or questions Thanksgiving week?

[BC79er]

One client with 1199A on the 22nd announced today. Depending on what you went for it may take a little longer. They were PPE only, sometimes projects with more than one line item get more scrutiny. Sometimes, not a rule of thumb. I know you don't want to hear hurry up and wait, but that's about the size of things.

You can PM me here on the forums or PM me on CentralPAFire's boards with the SLY screename. I hate to post my e-mail on the boards to avoid junkmail.

If you don't have any luck, post back here and I'll find you somehow. :) I'd love to help you out in anyway I can.
