SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 2, 2022, we published in the
Federal Register the NIA for the Basic Needs Program (87 FR 47201).
Under the NIA, applications were due on October 3, 2022. We are
reopening this competition for affected applicants described below to
allow them more time--until October 14, 2022--to prepare and submit
their applications.
Eligibility:
The reopening of this competition applies to eligible applicants
under the Basic Needs competition that are affected applicants. An
eligible applicant for this competition is defined in the NIA. To
qualify as an affected applicant, the applicant must have a mailing
address that is located in a jurisdiction that is part of one of the
applicable federally declared disaster areas and must provide
appropriate supporting documentation, if requested.
The affected areas are those in which assistance to individuals or
public assistance has been authorized under the following FEMA
declarations:
<bullet> Puerto Rico (<a href="https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4671">https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4671</a>);
<bullet> Portions of Alaska covered by a Presidential major
disaster declaration (<a href="https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4672">https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4672</a>);
<bullet> Florida (<a href="https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4673">https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4673</a>);
<bullet> The Seminole Tribe of Florida (<a href="https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4675">https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4675</a>);
<bullet> North Carolina (<a href="https://www.fema.gov/disaster/3586">https://www.fema.gov/disaster/3586</a>); and
<bullet> South Carolina (<a href="https://www.fema.gov/disaster/3585">https://www.fema.gov/disaster/3585</a>).
Affected applicants that have already timely submitted applications
under the FY 2022 Basic Needs competition may submit a new application,
but they are not required to do so. If a new application is not
submitted, the Department will use the application that was submitted
by the original deadline. If a new application is submitted, the
Department will consider the application that is last submitted and
timely received. Applications that did not meet the original deadline
may be resubmitted to be considered for review.
We are not reopening the application period for all applicants.
Thus, applications from applicants that are not affected applicants may
not be submitted as part of this reopened period for submission of
applications.
Note: All information in the NIA remains the same, except for
the deadline date for affected applicants.
