Application Procedures
To apply for funds from the Staff Emergency Fund (SEF), applicants must complete the online application.
Information provided in the application will be treated as confidential and shared only with individuals directly involved in administering the fund. Applicants should provide clear, detailed information about their situation and include documentation supporting the financial hardship.
Suggested documentation may include a death certificate; invoice, bill or receipt; a letter from a medical provider on letterhead; a police or fire report; or other information that will help the SEF Committee evaluate the request. Any information provided is voluntary, and by submitting it, the applicant authorizes the SEF Committee to review the materials.
Applicants may be contacted by the SEF Committee for additional information or missing documentation, which may delay a funding decision. Applicants will be notified in writing of the committee’s decision, typically within 10 working days after all required information is received.
If an application is approved, the employee will be sent a W-9 to set up direct deposit for the award. Employees without a checking account must still complete the W-9 and will be contacted when a check is available for pickup; a valid photo ID will be required at that time.
