No. I never got an emails saying I was approved or for how much. I just happened to login one day and there was a schedule with my landlords name and the amount I was getting. 

 It took about 2 weeks for me

 Yes!!! I just reapplied. I got a message about recertification on my account letting me know I could reapply again. It ( the recertification message) should pop up after 3 months from the date that you first applied. 

I did not receive an actual payment once my application said it approved. It took 3 weeks for my application to show my payment schedule. Then 2 more weeks of the payment being processed and actually being paid. My landlord received money this past Friday. 

I was wondering if anybody here opted-in to have their utilities paid too. 👀

I think they’re doing updates to their system or something because my status still says approved. But under that, it says payment schedule and a 3 column chart that just says my landlord’s name with the date July 6, the amount being paid out, and the status of the payment. Mines just turned to paid today. It’s not an actual schedule. 

I called the hotline, and they said they’re trying to come up with option on the online portal to make it easier to reapply for people who’s already been approved before. The lady told me to call next week because they might be putting that option out in next week or two. From what she told me, people are simply just using a different email address to apply again for another 3 months of aid  

Also does anyone know how soon you can reapply for another 3 months of aid?

My application is still saying approved. Today makes 3 weeks since it’s been approved, and I’m hoping the status changes soon. I literally have a court summons next Tuesday. I know my landlord can’t evict me, but I’m hoping he can get his money by then so I don’t have to waste my time to present my case in court. 

My application has been approved since 6/15 and my status has not changed yet! I called the toll free hot line and they literally will not tell you anything besides “check your online portal for status changes”. It’s really frustrating that it’s taking this long to get paid, and my landlord is trying to evict me despite opting in to receive the money.
