PS IT WAS THE FRIST GRANT I EVER DID AND ALL WE HAVE NOW IS A 1985 GRASS TRUCK

Location: Avalon Tx.

It looks to me like FEMA is making phone calls for the notifications. On top of that, those of us that have not received a notification, I think are still in the running for a grant, because FEMA does not know who still has matching funds available for the grant.

I got an email on July 9th with instructions to go to the application site and verify and electronically submit the SF-199A Direct Deposit Form. Then to print a copy and have our bank fill in their info in section 3. Then send it next day air to FEMA. It arrived there this morning, July 11th. I hope this is good news but will wait to celebrate until I see the deposit in the account.
I will keep you updated if I hear anything else.

On vendors call - I know of departments who were approved for grants that actually received calls from vendors before they were notified by the grant giver.

I received the notification for the direct deposit form also and filled it out and mailed it. To those who have received a grant this year - is it possible your could give us a heads up on this part of the process? We can all use a little hope.

I do know a department who was notified weeks ago that their application didn't make the cut. Just a guess - but if u received the direct deposit notification u are still in the running.

To the dept. who only has 3 members - god bless you and keep working. This is how nearly every volunteer dept. started.

Good luck to all who are still waiting and congratulations to those who already received the "golden call".

When I got home from work today there was e-mail from Firehouse.com reporting the first 75 companies to get positive notifications.

Congratulations to all!!

I have sill not heard of anyone receiving notification hat they have not made the cut at all.

Good luck to all of us that still wait.
