If you are having trouble viewing the email below, please click here . ` June 2014 Hot off the Press! New Issue Brief: Effective SOAR Representation for Social Security Appeals Despite your best efforts as a SOAR practitioner, applications you submit for SSI/SSDI may be denied. Or, perhaps you are involved with an applicant whose appeal is already pending with the SSA. SOAR practitioners are often well positioned to assist with Social Security appeals given their relationships with applicants and knowledge of their impairments and related functional limitations. Pam Heine, the SOAR TA Center’s subject matter expert on appeals, has developed an informative issue brief on the topic. This issue brief covers information that providers need to know in order to understand the SSA appeals process, gain insight to why claims are denied and what to do when the deadline to file an appeal is missed. This issue brief also descr...

Please recall that the Congress as a whole has to act on the T-HUD budget and that the House bill was not as generous to most (but not all) CPD programs as is the Senate version described below.  Senate T-HUD FY 2015 Spending Bill In-Depth: Community Development Programs On June 6, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved its version of the FY 2015 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies (T-HUD) appropriations bill (S. 2438).  The bill includes $45.8 billion for HUD programs, $3.2 billion more than was provided for FY 2014. Today’s  Direct News  item is intended to provide NAHRO members with a comprehensive summary of the Senate bill’s treatment of Community Planning and Development programs, including Community Development Block Grants, the HOME Investment Partnerships program, and homeless assistance grants.

Some Happy News to look forward to!! From: Harmon-Darrow, Aimee Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2014 11:06 AM To: Bal CPD Subject: COC Grantees now have the option of using eLOCCS Hello CPD, FYI, HUD is eliminating the LOCCS-VRS system. I don’t know the timeframe for this transition but eLOCCS is now available for all our COC grantees. CPD HQ hasn’t issued anything official, and speaking with Financial analysts throughout the country, some places are further ahead of this transition than others. The Richmond FO was a pilot for this transition and has all of their grantees in eLOCCS. They developed some instructions for the transition. After reviewing them, I will be pushing it out to our grantees. Aimee Harmon-Darrow Financial Analyst Baltimore Field Office 10 S. Howard Street 5th Floor Baltimore, MD 21201
