The Rural Business-Cooperative Service of the USDA released a correction to a previous notice about the Rural Energy for America Program. The original notice contained mistakes regarding the points given for the size of the funding request and for applicants who hadn’t received grants or loan commitments in the past two years. The corrections specify that applicants who haven’t recently received funding can earn 5 extra points. Additionally, smaller grant requests can qualify for 10 extra points, with a total maximum score possible of 100 points for those applications.
Simple Explanation
The Rural Business-Cooperative Service made some changes to the rules for a program that helps people in the countryside get energy grants or loans. They fixed a mistake to let people earn more points if they ask for a smaller grant or haven't gotten money in the last two years, and now they can get up to 100 points.
