Update 1199A - I'm confused?

[OakLevel]

OK - Got official award notice this am. A quick question for the experts...

My 1199A link is shown on my successful 2003 grant. All information is the same. Does this have to be printed and signed by the bank and sent back in to FEMA again or can I just request money as needed now?

Thanks for the help!

Dear OakLevel,
No, you're just fine with the older 1199A. No need to fret any longer, as long as nothing has changed. And don't be suprised if you're asked periodically to reaffirm the 'unchanged conditions' status of your 2005 grant, especially regarding primary contact info.
I had the same question myself last month. The answer is that you'll soon see the official award notice itself in print, which puts to rest all of the other prior issues or doubts one might have. And it's comming your way any time now by way of your Message Center on your DHS Status page, if you already haven't made several copies of it and posted it on your station(s) bulletin board(s) . Congratulations to you.

Oaklevel,
Did you receive a email concerning the 1199A or did it just appear on the application site?

Oaklevel,
Did you receive a email concerning the 1199A or did it just appear on the application site?

The e-mail that comes to the AFG mailbox and the letter when you click the "View Award" button both make reference to updating the 1199 and give the address to mail it. That part of the notices is the same for everybody, but IF the current award number shows up on a prior 1199A AND there are no changes to the bank or account number, THEN it is not likely necessary to complete another 1199A.

That being said, and even though i didn't think we needed to do another one, i still made a quick call this morning to the Help Desk to be sure.

That is exactly my case. Thanks for the help!
