Hi All, Here is today's FEMA Region Ten update. 5-26-20

Subject: RX Public Assistance COVID-19 FEMA Daily Update 5.26.2020

Good afternoon,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing holiday weekend. Here's the update for today! Please keep letting us know how we can assist you, and if there are any particular topics or questions you'd like to be addressed.

PNPs that may be ineligible: We are starting to see some RPAs for PNPs that are likely ineligible. We have established a process for these PNPs that we hope is helpful and will limit the need for determination memos.  These applicants will receive an email that says that it appears they may not be eligible for assistance, and that they can provide additional information that may help us determine that they are eligible, or they can withdraw their RPA. If they do neither, we will prepare a DM through the standard process.

Unsolicited emails from contractors: We have seen a number of  marketing messages to applicants from contractors, some of them going so far as to imply that FEMA has assigned the contractor to the applicant. Please be assured that, as always, FEMA will not suggest, endorse, recommend, approve, assign, direct or otherwise have any involvement in grantee or applicant decisions to hire contractors to perform PA program related work for them. Grantees and applicants should be aware that like all PA program funding, there are important documentation and procurement requirements, as well as funding caps and eligibility considerations, for management costs. Please let your PA lead know if any assistance in navigating these requirements is needed.
