2010 10Qs are here!

[SLY4420]

Finally some better news

[davepa]

I assume as usual that the 10q email you received was sent to a personal email?

[SLY4420]

Looks like they're being sent to ALL personal e-mails listed in the application this year.

I've had several come through this morning.

Did these 10QS have 1199's posted already?

[geefireman]

Did these 10QS have 1199's posted already?

Yes, I did already have the 1199 a long time ago......

Good luck!

[EastKyFF]

Did these 10QS have 1199's posted already?

I haven't gotten either yet on my four apps, but usually there is positively no rhyme or reason to which comes first, or what the time lag between them is. Either is good news--and reason to get even MORE vigilant, if that's possible.

Be sure to act on 10Q's and 1199a's IMMEDIATELY!!

[jsmoser]

We have no 1199, 10Q, or DJ. What could this possible indicate???

[BC79er]

1199A would come first, questions lag 1-2 weeks behind them normally. So nothing at this point means you made Peer Review, they just haven't done anything else with it. Might get funded, might get turned down at a later date. Welcome to the Land of Limbo.

Nice to see that they are emailing every address listed, had many issues with some Profile contacts not getting the emails last year because of junk filtering with the way they title the email subject. Same with the 1199A. Hopefully this means more of those are coming soon too.

Yep I already have three emails from clients with 10 qs. Amen brother let the games begin.

[smokediver6102]

I got mine today about noon! A good day, now hopefully they will start announcements soon.
Thanks Kurt!!!

OK, which one of you bums got mine? I haven't seen it yet, so I assume it was sent to one of you on accident.

[PaladinKnight]

Former dept received both 10Qs today. Some of the others I helped also received theirs. Just about that time.

Catch: I thought they were handling yours special due to your awesome connections.

It's payback because someone got mine from last year.

What exactly are these 10 Qs. This is my first time applying for the grant. I currently have a 1199a that I found a while back, but yet to see a 10q

[fireman8611]

We got our 1199 a few weeks ago....no 10Q yet. I hate this feeling of wondering when/if they will come. But, it is a better feeling than getting that DJ e-mail. Does anybody know when the next batch of 10Q will come out...do they usually come on Fridays like the awards do?

Here is the 10Q I got last year:



Dear 2009 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program Applicant:



I am the Grants Management Specialist from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Grant Programs Directorate, assigned to review your Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Application. Your application was favorably reviewed by a panel of your peers. As such, I have a few matters to discuss/verify with you prior to processing your application any further. Please be advised, this is not a notification of award; it is only a preliminary discussion of your application.

4). If you are selected, do you understand that your department will be required to report to National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) for one year commencing at your earliest convenience during the performance period of the grant? Nonaffiliated EMS organizations do not have to comply with the NFIRS reporting requirement.



If you need assistance reporting to NFIRS, you may call the support center toll free number 1-888-382-3827.

Thanks for the imput. Would it be considered a bad thing that we haven't received the 10Q yet although we have been sitting on the 1199?

No, sit tight they will come when they are ready.

[fireman8611]

No...this same thing happend to me last year. Everybody around (it seemed) was getting their 10Q except me. I got mine a week or two later. The ones that got their's first was in the 1st round of awards. We were awarded in round two. It is just scarry and hard to wait when they start dropping and yours hasn't. Last year was my first time awarded so I know what your feeling. Hang in there

[PaladinKnight]

It would be my opinion that the first round is being fleshed out now.

Once the 10Qs are answered and returned, the Elected Officials will be making some calls about the same time the Award Notifications go out.

Expect a big round in a few weeks.

It is also my opinion that all of the Computer rejections are out.

If you didn't get rejected, and you don't have your grant number posted in a previous 1199, then sit tight. You are most likely sitting in Peer Review; your application is still under consideration.

If this is your first year, or you have never been awarded a grant, and you did not get a rejection, you're probably in peer review, also under consideration. You cannot check a 1199 status until they send you a 1199 form.

If you didn't get any news, for the moment, that is good news.

If you received the 10Qs, Congratulations!
