Grant funds will be distributed on a first come, first served basis to qualifying States. If, however, when funds for a fiscal year become available, there are not sufficient funds to give all qualifying States 70 percent of their justified estimated expenses for the fiscal year, the percentage allocation will be reduced so as to give all States the same percentage of their expenses. FSA views the use of grant funds to provide financial advisory or other services in an advocacy context to be inconsistent with the premise of a mediation program, which is to provide a neutral forum for resolution of disputes. Deadlines: Contact FSA National Office for application deadlines. Range of Approval/Disapproval Time: Thirty days from receipt of a complete application package. Appeals: If a certified State mediation program is available as part of the informal appeal hearing process, the participant will be offered the right to choose such mediation.
