I know I either posted or sent an email on this, but please encourage survivors to REGISTER and FILL OUT the SBA APPLICATION! While benefits range from nothing, to $29,900, to low interest loans, to income tax relief, you have to register to find out. The absolute deadline to get in the system will be July 6th. After that there are very, very, very few exceptions, bordering on NO exceptions.
If you receive an SBA Loan application, FILL IT OUT. If you did not receive any benefits or less than $29,900, this application is required for them to consider you for further grants. If you are accepted for a loan, it is less than 3%. If denied, you then are considered for additional grants up to a total of $29,900 depending on your loss and particular situation. If you have already been approved for $29,900 in grants, you still need to apply as you might also be eligible for a SBA loan.
If your community wants to help advocate and educate, FEMA will do a 1 1/2 training class on FEMA applications and SBA applications so you can help others through the process. Let me know and I'll help set it up. It is one of my top suggestions for first projects for Long Term Recovery Committees.
