| Jun 27, 2024 10:49 AM | If a county is listed under a contractor that the contractor does not wish to/is unable serve, how should that be handled in the application by the contractor? | All counties listed for the service area should be included in the application. Capacity has not increased in this RFA, therefore if the applicant is unable to expand their geographical footprint into a newly listed county(s), that should be noted with an explanation as to why, where appropriate, throughout the application. |
| Jul 17, 2024 3:43 PM | With regards to the federal reimbursement rate for mileage of .67 cents, can we use administrative funds to cover the additional mileage costs above the approved .50 per mile? | No, MIECHV funds cannot be used to pay mileage rates above what the state allows. |
| Jul 17, 2024 3:44 PM | Are gift cards allowable expenses for the Health and Safety Funds? | Yes, gift cards are an allowable expense for the Health and Safety Funds. |
