State, Tribe, and Territory Disaster Case Management Federal Award

This collection tool will primarily be used as a guide to support state, tribal, and territorial governments (STTs) when applying, requesting a modification, or appealing a FEMA determination for Disaster Case Management Federal funding to supplement and expand their existing capacity. In extraordinary circumstances, the STT may request that FEMA provide an opportunity for a local government agency or qualified private organization to apply for the DCM Federal Award directly. Once awarded, the STT will utilize the monthly reporting form to report aggregate data about the performance of their program. All information collected within these forms will be submitted to FEMA by the STT. When applying for the STT DCM Federal award, the STT will respond to the questions within the application form, developing an overall assessment that details activities that have occurred since the start of the disaster; what resources and capabilities are currently available or anticipated to be available; and the estimated population to be served. The STT will also outline the implementation of their program by detailing their service delivery and work plans. If the STT is awarded a STT DCM Federal award, the STT may need to modify their initial award. In doing so, the STT will utilize the Request for Modification collection instrument to answer questions that will assist them in justifying the need to request additional time or funding to further support their program implementation. If the STT chooses to appeal a FEMA determination, the STT will outline the purpose for their submission and provide new, justifying information that was not included in their initial or modification request by using the Request to Appeal collection instrument. For each of the three forms mentioned above, the STT may also need to request initial or supplemental funding by using the Budget Workbook. This collection instrument enables the STT to outline line items that are necessary to implement the program, including personnel, travel, supplies, and contractual items among others. The STT can use this workbook to detail the request at all levels in program implementation so that it can calculate the total amount of funding needed. Once awarded, the STT will report aggregate data on all aspects of program implementation, including staffing, caseloads, survivor/client needs, and the types of referrals being made, as well as challenges faced during the month and best practices/lessons learned. This information assists FEMA in confirming the effectiveness of the program, providing technical assistance to ensure all survivors are able to receive DCM services, and to continuously evolve programmatic implementation through the collection of best practices/lessons learned
