Default Appliance rebate money all gone

This is where part of the stimulus money has gone. Yet few people know how the products and services are being distributed. What is happening is the nonprofits are on board with this stimulus booty and are informing their “poor” clients at to how to get their paws on it. As I told you already, PGE in Central and Northern California has partnered up with the Mexican Consulate in Fresno and San Francisco to inform their “poor” on how, where and when to grab at this money. I’m sure the same thing is happening in Texas and throughout the US. That is why so many of our citizens land up at the back of the line when it comes to these handouts and rebates. Some may say that I’m stretching to connect the dots on this, but I’m not. Today there is a meeting of the largest utility companies here in California. It is the LIEE (Low Income Energy Efficient) program that is getting a partnership with the nonprofits and the stimulus money, similar to the LIHEAP (Low Income Energy Assistance Program) where they pay their utility bills. This is happening nation wide and you’re paying for it as an added cost on your utility bill. As I write this it’s 2:00pm and the meeting is underway. Here is the email I received and the invitation:
Dear Valued Partners,
This is a reminder.
San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Southern California Edison Company (SCE), and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) (the Joint Utilities) will hold a public meeting to discuss their CARE and LIEE programs as authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission for 2009-2011 program years. Agenda is attached.
Meeting information:
Wednesday, April 7, 2010

Thank you for your attention.
<<Agenda April 7 2010.doc>>
Sincerely,
Eleanor Dela Cruz,
PG&E CEE/CARE

1-800-239-5170, prompt 3
1-800-239-6410 (fax)
These are the programs that are connected with the nonprofits and also getting the stimulus money through those nonprofits. But you, Joe and Mary citizen will hardly hear of any of the handouts. But the illegal get a personal invitation from many sources. By the time Joe and Mary citizen gets in line, the money is gone.

Appliance rebate money all gone
UPDATE — All of the appliance rebate money has been reserved, but waitlist reservations are available, officials said.
Thousands of Texans could not get through Wednesday on a Web site and phone line to apply for rebates for energy efficient appliances. Traffic was so heavy that the state Comptrollers Office shut the Web site down at one point, and the phone line was giving only busy signals well into the afternoon.
Demand for the rebates exceeded expectations, a comptrollers office spokesman said. Additionally, heavy traffic from a suspicious Internet address might have slowed down the Web site for part of the morning, he said.
The Web site, www.txrebates.com, opened for business at 7 a.m. today, but the comptroller’s office said it was hit with “unprecedented traffic.”
State officials took down the online reservation system later in the morning to test its load capacity. It was restored to limited capacity at 12:15 p.m., comptroller’s office spokesman R.J. DeSilva said.
As part of that testing, the contractor hired to run the applications program, Helgeson Enterprises Inc., noticed that an unusually high amount of traffic was coming from one IP address. It was blocked.
But heavy demand continued into the afternoon. A phone line (877-780-3039) was also swamped, and a message on a backup line said calls were not going through.”
To accommodate phone demand, more call-takers were added Wednesday morning, for a total of 550, DeSilva said.
“There’s extremely high interest,” he said. “Response has been higher than expected because a lot of Texans” want these rebates.
The office was receiving about 1,000 calls per minute at about 10:20 a.m., and the Web site was getting 1,700 hits per second, according to a comptroller’s office Twitter post. The Web site has received more than 19 million hits.
DeSilva said the agency made a number of improvements to expand the program in the runup to today’s launch, adding call-takers and boosting the server to handle online interest. Even so, demand outpaced those preparations.
“We worked to try and handle as much capacity as we thought” was necessary, DeSilva said. “This morning, there was even more than that.”
The comptrollers office signed a contract with Helgeson last month for $876,000 to run the rebate program. It was the first time that the comptroller’s office has contracted with Helgeson, DeSilva said.
It’s not the first time, however, that Helgeson has run a rebate program that’s been overwhelmed by callers.
Earlier this year, a similar program in Minnesota sparked high demand, causing the phone and Web systems to crash.
DeSilva said the comptroller’s office was aware of the overload in Minnesota, hence the early testing. Asked if the comptroller’s office would penalize Helgeson for the problems Wednesday, DeSilva declined to comment.
The $23 million in rebates is being handed out on a first-come, first-serve basis under a federal program. The rebates are for certain energy-efficient appliances, ranging from dishwashers to air conditioners, with extra money if people also recycle their older appliance.
The limit is two rebates per household, and people have to log back into the Web site to register for each rebate.
Purchases must be made from April 16-25 for most appliances, with a longer period for a few big-ticket items such as air conditioners.
Area appliance stores say they’re preparing for a rush of customers.
“We’re definitely excited about it,” said an employee at the Best Buy on U.S. 290 who said she wasn’t allowed to talk to the media.
At Depew Appliance on Burnet Road, sales manager Kenneth Boyles said he’s trying to order merchandise, but manufacturers are running low.
“We order stuff, it just hasn’t come in,” he said.
Still the store is stocking up where it can and is expecting to get slammed starting April 16, he said.
One of Boyles’ customers has a refrigerator that hasn’t been working for a week. He’s been buying time by keeping dry ice in the freezer, Boyles said.
“He’s hoping he’s going to get this money,” Boyles said. “If he doesn’t get it, then what’s he going to do?”
Austin resident Kelly Wilson said she put off buying a new dishwasher in anticipation of getting the rebate today.
Since about 7 a.m., she’s been trying to call and access the Web site. No luck on either front.
“I got up early, for god’s sake,” she said. “That’s what really annoys me.”

GENERAL INFORMATION
The state Department of Community Services & Development administers the federally funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) in California. The federal Department of Health and Human Services distributes funds to states annually to assist with energy bills and offset heating and/or cooling energy costs for eligible low-income households. California’s share is approximately [U]$89 million annually which CSD distributes to contracted community energy service providers.[/U]These are the Nonprofits that cater to the illegal aliens. I know because I've seen them and who they direct their services to.[B[/B]

CSD strategically leverages its LIHEAP funding with the U.S. Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program.

ASSISTANCE TYPE
• Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) provides a direct payment to an eligible client’s utility bill to help offset the cost of heating or cooling their home.
• Weatherization provides free energy efficiency upgrades to the dwellings of low-income families to lower their monthly utility bills.
• Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP) provides assistance to low-income households that are in a crisis situation. Examples include a household that has received a 24- or 48-hour disconnect notice or service termination by their utility company or an energy-related crisis of life-threatening emergency exists in the applicant’s household.
ELIGIBILITY
Any resident of California who meets the income guidelines and is responsible for energy costs in a residence may be eligible. To determine income eligibility, see the LIHEAP Income Guidelines.

FUNDING SOURCE
The Energy Bill Assistance program is funded by the federal Department of Health and Human Services through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program Block Grant. California’s designated LIHEAP administrator is the Department of Community Services and Development. CSD in turn distributes allocations to the state’s existing network of energy service providers who are contracted with CSD to provide programs at the community level. The contract term typically runs from January 1st through December 31st of each calendar year.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
Overview

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009. It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.


Two of CSD’s existing programs will receive significant new funding through the Recovery Act:
• The U.S. Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program (DOE WAP)
• The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Community Services Block Grant (CSBG)
WEATHERIZATION

The purpose of DOE WAP is to increase the energy efficiency of homes owned or occupied by low-income Californians, reduce the amount these families spend on energy, and improve their health and safety. Preference is given to low-income people who are particularly at risk, such as the elderly, disabled, families with children, and those who use a lot of energy.

The significant investment in DOE WAP through the Recovery Act also represents the Obama administration’s efforts to create and sustain jobs during this economic crisis, and to decrease our national dependence on foreign oil. CSD will receive $185 million in DOE WAP funding under the Recovery Act.


COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT
The CSBG program is a nationwide network of community action agencies. These are the NON Profits. These agencies fight poverty by providing services that help low-income people get the skills, knowledge, and motivation they need to become self-sufficient. The CSBG program also provides low-income people with immediate life necessities such as food, shelter, health care and more.
Working in partnership with other local providers, community action agencies spend their federal CSBG dollars in their local communities to meet the unique needs of the low-income people they serve.
CSD will receive $89 million in CSBG ARRA funding under the Recovery Act, 99% of the CSBG ARRA allocation will be “passed through’ to the CSBG eligible entities. The Recovery Act requires States receiving CSBG ARRA funds to retain 1% of its allocation for benefit enrollment and coordination activities.

COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Information Memorandum U.S. Department of Healthand Human Services
Administration for Children and Families
Office of Community Services
Division of State Assistance
370 L'Enfant Promenade, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20447
Transmittal No. 109 Date: April 9, 2009
TO: State Community Services Block Grant Program Administrators and U.S.
Territories

SUBJECT: Application for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 CSBG American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) Funds

PURPOSE: To provide guidance on application procedures, spending and reporting requirements for Recovery Act Funds
RELATED
REFERENCES: Community Services Block Grant Act; OMB Circular
A-122; OMB Circular A-133; OMB M-09-10, Initial Implementing Guidance for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
This Information Memorandum (IM) is intended to clarify various aspects of the Recovery Act regarding Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) services, use of funds, and reporting requirements. This information is based on current guidance from the Executive Office of the President and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and will be updated as necessary.
Background
On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) of 2009. This legislation authorized “…supplemental appropriations for job preservation and creation, infrastructure investment, energy efficiency and science, assistance to the unemployed, and State and local fiscal stabilization….” [Public Law 111-5] The Recovery Act provides for $1 billion in additional funds to the Community Services Block Grant program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009. States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and U.S. Territories, hereafter referred to as States, have until September 30, 2010, to expend the additional funds.
The specific language from the Recovery Act related to the Community Services Block Grant
states:
$1,000,000,000 for carrying out activities under sections 674 through 679 of the Community Services Block Grant Act, of which no part shall be subject to section 674(b)(3) of such Act: Provided, That notwithstanding section 675C(a)(1) and 675C(b) of such Act 1 percent of the funds made available to each State from this additional amount shall be used for benefits enrollment coordination activities relating to the identification and enrollment of eligible individuals and families in Federal, State, and local benefit programs: Provided further, That all funds remaining available to a State from this additional amount after application of the previous proviso shall be distributed to eligible entities as defined in section 673(1) of such Act: Provided further, That for services furnished under such Act during fiscal years 2009 and 2010, States may apply the last sentence of section 673(2) of such Act by substituting "200 percent" for "125 percent."
States and local entities that provide services with CSBG funds including migrant and seasonal farm worker organizations (“eligible entities”) are encouraged to focus their efforts on creating sustainable economic resources in communities. States should help to ensure that eligible entities: 1) provide a wide range of innovative employment-related services and activities tailored to the specific needs of their community; 2) use funds in a manner that meets the short-term and long-term economic and employment needs of individuals, families and communities; and 3) make meaningful and measurable progress toward the reform goals of the Recovery Act with special attention to creating and sustaining economic growth and employment opportunities.
Under the CSBG program, eligible entities use funds to provide services and activities addressing employment, education, better use of available income, housing, nutrition, emergency services and/or health to combat the central causes of poverty. Such services continue to be supportable under the CSBG Recovery Act funds.
Application Procedures
States that receive Recovery Funds are required to submit to the Office of Community Services (OCS) a FY 2009 Plan for Recovery Act (ARRA) funds by May 29, 2009. This requirement is in accordance with Section 676(e) of the CSBG Act which requires submission of revised plans to the Secretary.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will make funds immediately available to States with the caveat that States that fail to submit timely plans for Recovery Act funds may have funding placed on hold.
Distribution of Funds
States will receive CSBG Recovery Act funds, as a separate allotment, under the same formula used for grants allocated under the regular annual CSBG appropriations. States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and Territories that applied for and received funding in FY 2009 will receive a proportion of the $985 million in CSBG Recovery Act funds.
The Recovery Act requires that States distribute 99 percent of the Recovery Act allocations to “eligible entities” as defined by Section 673(1) of the CSBG Act. States are also reminded that pursuant to Section 676(b)(8) of the CSBG Act, “any eligible entity in the State that received [FY 2008 CSBG] funding in the previous fiscal year through a [CSBG] grant … will not have its funding terminated …or reduced below the proportional share of funding the entity received in the previous fiscal year unless, after providing notice and an opportunity for a hearing on the record, the State determines that cause exists for such termination or such reduction, subject to review by [HHS]….”.
Use of Funds
Recovery Act funds may be used “…for carrying out activities under sections 674 through 679 of the Community Services Block Grant Act …” which includes the CSBG program assurances as stated in Section 676(b) of the CSBG Act. States are to ensure that “…the use of these funds is consistent with the laws and procedures applicable to the State, both with regard to the States’ own provisions for obligations and expenditures under State policies, and in accordance with applicable Federal regulations.”
Under the regular CSBG program, eligible entities use funds to provide services and activities addressing employment, education, better use of available income, housing, nutrition, emergency services and/or health to combat the central causes of poverty. Such services continue to be supportable under the CSBG Recovery Act fund. In recognition of the intent of Recovery Act funds, States should encourage their eligible entities to support employment-related services and activities that create and sustain economic growth.
It is important to note that unlike the regular CSBG program, the Recovery Act does not allow for State expenditures on administrative costs and statewide discretionary activities. The Act does, however, require States to reserve one percent of their grant for benefits enrollment coordination activities relating to the identification and enrollment of eligible individuals and families in Federal, State, and local benefit programs. The block grant gives States flexibility to administer these benefit enrollment activities in a manner that best meets the needs of individuals, families and communities in their State.
Income Eligibility Requirements
• The Recovery Act allows States and the eligible entities that administer the CSBG program at the local level to increase individual eligibility for services furnished by the program during fiscal years 2009 and 2010 up to 200 percent of the official poverty guidelines as set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Current poverty guidelines can be accessed at this website location: http://aspe.hhs.gov/POVERTY/09fedreg.shtml. This eligibility adjustment reflects an increase from 125 percent of poverty as provided in Section 673(2) of the CSG Act, and applies to all CSBG services furnished by States and eligible entities during FY 2009 and 2010, including those provided pursuant to other CSBG appropriations.
Reporting Requirements
There are supplemental reporting requirements for all Recovery Act funds. HHS is working to clarify and streamline the Recovery Act reporting needs, and OCS will issue specific guidance on these requirements, including necessary adaptations to current data collection efforts, to State grantees and eligible entities, when available. The additional reporting requirements under the Recovery Act:
“Not later than 10 days after the end or each calendar quarter, each recipient that received recovery funds from a Federal agency shall submit a report to that agency that contains—
• the total amount of recovery funds received from that agency;
• the amount of recovery funds received that were expended or obligated to projects or activities; and
• a detailed list of all projects or activities for which recovery funds were expended or obligated, including--
o the name of the project or activity;
o a description of the project or activity;
o an evaluation of the completion status of the project or activity;
o an estimate of the number of jobs created and the number of jobs retained by the project or activity; and
o for infrastructure investments made by State and local governments, the purpose, total cost, and rationale of the agency for funding the infrastructure investment with funds made available under this Act, and name of the person to contact at the agency if there are concerns with the infrastructure investment.
(4) Detailed information on any subcontracts or subgrants awarded by the recipient to include the data elements required to comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-262), allowing aggregate reporting on awards below $25,000 or to individuals, as prescribed by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.”

The reporting requirements under the Recovery Act do not modify the requirements described in Section 676(b)(12) of the CSBG Act, which states:
“…the State and all eligible entities in the State will…participate in the Results-Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA), another performance measure system…, or an alternative system for measuring performance and results that meets the requirements…” [Section 676(b)(12) of the CSBG Act]
States and eligible entities must continue to fulfill all reporting requirements in the CSBG Act in addition to those required by the Recovery Act.
As part of the efforts to ensure transparency and accountability, the ARRA requires Federal agencies and grantees to track and report separately on expenditures from funds made available by the stimulus bill.

Obligating and Expending Funds
If using an accrual accounting system, services must be provided on or before September 30, 2010, and liquidated on or before December 29, 2010. A final report is due on or before December 29, 2010. If using a cash accounting system, services must be provided on or before September 30, 2010 and final report is due on or before December 29, 2010.
Unobligated or unexpended Recovery Funds must be reported on the Federal Financial Status Report form, SF-269. In addition to the SF-269, States, Territories and Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations must return the remaining balance of these funds to the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Payment Management (DPM), at the end of the grant period. According to 45 CFR 92.50(d)(2), “The grantee must immediately return to the Federal agency any balance of unobligated (unencumbered) cash advanced that is not authorized to be retained for use on other grants.”
Fiscal Accountability
Additional accountability measures for CSBG Recovery Act funds will be outlined in the terms and conditions of the grant award. Existing accountability measures remain applicable and include compliance with OMB Circular A-133, the Single Audit Act of 1984 and compliance with CSBG regulations. This information will be transmitted to the State CSBG agency with the issuance of the grant awards.
