Just a little info from the experts!!

From prior years or from this year How long after getting the 1199A form and sending it back has the six questions been? We got our 1199a request on wed 7/2 and still has not seen the questions!!

Getting a little worried in Alabama!!???!!???

I wouldn't worry too much. Last year the time delay was anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks. Right about now they're getting hit with requests for money and other such support issues on the first few rounds. Have to remember that there's only about 5-8 people handling all of this up there, so once the announcements got rolling, they're mighty busy.

Good luck, and congrats on the 1199A. I sense impending money on your end.

Still waiting here too.. Got our 1199a on 7/1

Correction... Just checked my email and recieved the 6 questions

[phazmat]

We received the request to update the 1199A form on July 10, and sent the updated form to FEMA the same day. We received the 6 question on July 12, and sent our answers back to FEMA on July 14. And now we wait, the award notices could come today or next week or whenever. I think it will come sometime, I hope that they would not put you through all of this and then not award the grant. Last year we did not get the Dear John letter until just before the last round was awarded in December. But last year we never where asked to update the 1199A form and we never received the 6 question like we have this year. I hope this help's you in someway.

I just received an email this morning (7/17) for the 1199a form. The email was dated 7/10 (2893, not 2003) but the mail headers all say it went through FEMA's mail servers today as well.

I just sent it in via Priority Mail today.

Still got our fingers crossed!!!!!!

We recieved our request for paperwork around 6/26 and the six questions 7/8 and we got our grant confirmation a few days before round 6 was announced. Not 100% sure on the dates but those are close. Once you get the six questions its a few weeks till you get the call.

[Adze39]

I sent my 1199a on Thursday via Priority Mail. I still haven't heard anything else. I called 800 number yesterday afternoon to confirm they received it and the guy told me there was no way that they could do that right now because they were receiving so many in. He also said it could take up to 15 days to process the 1199a. Hopefully I will get my 6 questions soon.

we found 1199a late on july 1 then on july 3 in the early P.M. found 6 questions. Both times responded as soon as these were found. Recieved call from local TV station on july 16 asking for information on what we were going to use the grant for due to them recieving a press release from our U.S. Senator. Found Our name on FEMA anouncement on july 17. Found grant package on july 18. we had applied three times and finaly recieved. Good luck to all
