Note Regarding Federal, State, and
Local Government Agencies (Such as
Departments of Motor Vehicles)
While Federal Government agencies
must follow the guidelines laid out by
the Federal Government, state and local
government agencies establish their own
rules and guidelines when granting
certain benefits. Each state may have
different laws, requirements, and
determinations about what documents
you need to provide to prove eligibility
for certain benefits. Whether you are
applying for a Federal, state, or local
government benefit, you may need to
provide the government agency with
documents that show you are a TPS
beneficiary and/or show you are
authorized to work based on TPS.
Examples of such documents are:
(1) Your current EAD;
(2) A copy of your Notice of Action
(Form I–797C), the notice of receipt, for
your application to renew your current
EAD providing an automatic extension
of your currently expired or expiring
EAD;
(3) A copy of your Notice of Action
(Form I–797C), the notice of receipt, for
your Application for Temporary
Protected Status for this re-registration;
and
(4) A copy of your Notice of Action
(Form I–797), the notice of approval, for
a past or current Application for
Temporary Protected Status, if you
received one from USCIS. Check with
the government agency regarding which
document(s) the agency will accept.
Some benefit-granting agencies use the
USCIS Systematic Alien Verification for
Entitlements (SAVE) program to confirm
the current immigration status of
applicants for public benefits. In most
cases, SAVE provides an automated
electronic response to benefit-granting
agencies within seconds, but,
occasionally, verification can be
delayed. You can check the status of
your SAVE verification by using
CaseCheck at the following link: https://
save.uscis.gov/casecheck/, then by
clicking the ‘‘Check Your Case’’ button.
CaseCheck is a free service that lets you
follow the progress of your SAVE
verification using your date of birth and
one immigration identifier number. If an
agency has denied your application
based solely or in part on a SAVE
response, the agency must offer you the
opportunity to appeal the decision in
accordance with the agency’s
procedures. If the agency has received
and acted upon or will act upon a SAVE

verification and you do not believe the
response is correct, you may make an
InfoPass appointment for an in-person
interview at a local USCIS office.
Detailed information on how to make
corrections, make an appointment, or

records under the Freedom of
Information Act can be found on the

Allocations, Common Application,
Waivers, and Alternative Requirements
for Community Development Block
Grant Disaster Recovery Grantees
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Community Planning and
Development, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

On April 10, 2018, HUD
allocated nearly $28 billion in
Community Development Block Grant
disaster recovery (CDBG–DR) funds
appropriated by the Further Additional
Supplemental Appropriations for
Disaster Relief Requirements Act, 2018.
HUD allocated $10.03 billion for the
purpose of assisting in addressing
unmet needs from disasters that
occurred in 2017; $2 billion for
improved electrical power systems in
areas impacted by Hurricane Maria; and
$15.9 billion for mitigation activities.
This notice applies only to the $10.03
billion allocated for long-term recovery
from disasters that occurred in 2017. A
future notice will specify the
requirements and process for the
electrical power systems funding and
the mitigation funds.
This $10.03 billion allocation for
addressing unmet recovery needs
supplements the $7.4 billion in CDBG–
DR funds appropriated by the
Supplemental Appropriations for
Disaster Relief Requirements Act, 2017,
which allocated funds to Texas, Florida,
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands
in response to qualifying disasters in
2017. In HUD’s Federal Register notice
published on February 9, 2018 (the
‘‘Prior Notice’’), HUD described those
allocations, applicable waivers and
alternative requirements, relevant
statutory and regulatory requirements,
the grant award process, criteria for

I. Allocations
The Further Additional Supplemental
Appropriations for Disaster Relief
Requirements Act, 2018 (Division B,
Subdivision 1 of the Bipartisan Budget
Act of 2018), approved February 9, 2018
(Pub. L. 115–123) (the ‘‘Appropriations
Act’’), appropriated nearly $28 billion in
CDBG–DR funds. Of this amount, up to
$16 billion is available to address unmet
disaster recovery needs through
activities authorized under title I of the
Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.)
(HCD Act) related to disaster relief,
long-term recovery, restoration of
infrastructure and housing, economic
revitalization, and mitigation in the
‘‘most impacted and distressed’’ areas
(identified by HUD using the best
available data) resulting from a major
declared disaster that occurred in 2017.
Amounts allocated for these purposes
supplement $7.4 billion in CDBG–DR
funds appropriated on September 8,
2017, by the Supplemental
Appropriations for Disaster Relief
Requirements, 2017 (Pub. L. 115–56)

(the ‘‘Prior Appropriation’’). HUD
allocated the first $7.4 billion in the
Prior Notice (83 FR 5844, February 9,
2018). This notice amends the Prior
Notice to ensure consistency across
allocations for the same qualifying
disasters, and to give effect to
requirements of the Appropriations Act,
including that funds allocated under the
Prior Notice are subject to the terms and
conditions applicable to CDBG–DR
funds under the Appropriations Act.
Based on the remaining unmet needs
allocation methodology outlined in
Appendix A, this notice allocates
$10,030,484,000 for unmet disaster
recovery needs under the
Appropriations Act. The allocation
amounts for unmet recovery needs
included in Table 1 exclude the $2
billion set-aside for Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands for electrical system
improvements. The Appropriations Act
further provided that of the nearly $28
billion, HUD must allocate not less than
$12 billion for mitigation activities
undertaken by grantees receiving an
allocation of CDBG–DR funds for
recovery from 2015, 2016, or 2017
disasters. On April 10, 2018, HUD
announced that after addressing
remaining 2017 unmet needs, HUD
would allocate an additional $3.9
billion for mitigation, bringing the
amount designated for mitigation to
$15.9 billion. A subsequent notice will
govern the allocations for mitigation and
the allocations for electrical power
system enhancements and
improvements.
In accordance with the
Appropriations Act, $10,000,000 of the
total amounts appropriated under the
Act will be transferred to the
Department’s Office of Community
Planning and Development (CPD),
Program Office Salaries and Expenses,
for necessary costs of administering and
overseeing CDBG–DR funds made
available under the Appropriations Act
and $15,000,000 is to be transferred to
the CPD office to provide necessary
capacity building and technical
assistance to grantees. The
Appropriations Act also provides
$10,000,000 to the Department’s Office
of the Inspector General for oversight of
the appropriated CDBG–DR funds.
Although the Prior Notice requires
each grantee to primarily consider and
address its unmet housing recovery
needs, grantees under this notice and
the Prior Notice may also propose an
allocation of funds that includes unmet
economic revitalization and
infrastructure needs that are unrelated
to unmet housing needs after the grantee
demonstrates in its needs assessment
that there is no remaining unmet
