What steps do I take to receive my grant reimbursement?
Discover the necessary steps to successfully receive reimbursement for your grant in a clear and concise manner.
Step 1: Talk to your contractor. Confirm the mitigation project is complete and that all contractor permits have been approved and closed.
Step 2: Request a Final Inspection through your portal account in the "Draw Request - Final Inspection Request" step. Each homeowner will only have one opportunity to request a Final Inspection. Our inspectors will contact you to confirm and time and date to conduct an inspection and complete a Final Inspection Report. This report will then be uploaded by the Inspector to your Applicant Portal.
Step 3: Complete the reimbursement process below which can also be found on the DRAW REQUESTS page of our Homeowner's Guide using this link: https://msflh.com/homeowners-guide
Submit your Final Inspection Report to your insurance provider to request discounts. Once your insurance provider has responded, you must complete or submit the following in the Applicant Portal:
- Draw Request Summary – contains basic information about the Homeowner’s Mitigation Project.
- Original Contractor Invoice - a detailed invoice or quote that describes the Mitigation Project that was performed.
-
Proof of Payment In Full - cancelled check, receipts, paid invoice, or financing agreement, etc.
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT required for Low-Income participants. - Proof of Insurance Premium Discounts - email, letter, new declarations page, new insurance quote.
- Payment Verification – contains information about where the disbursement will be sent.
Once the Homeowner has completed the Draw Request, the Draw Request will be reviewed by the Program. If there is a problem with the Draw Request, the Homeowner will be alerted to correct the information.
