Government Grant and Loan Facts:

Don't be scammed by ads; whether on radio, tv, or online, about free money from the government. The federal government does offer grants and loans, but the information you pay for may be misleading. Here are the facts:

 

The differences between grants and loans. Loans are obligations which must be repaid, and often with interest. A grant; however, does not require repayment, but there are extremely few grants available for individuals. Most grants are awarded to universities, researchers, cities, states, counties, and non-profit organizations. Loans are generally the best bet for individuals.

 

Grants for Personal Individual Use

As the economy continues to stagger, with high unemployment, rising living costs and mounting debt, consumers turn to the internet in search of free grants for personal individual use.

 

While individual grants such as Pell Grants for education are indeed available for personal education use, typically government grants are awarded to foundations and organizations, which then serve individuals.

 

But that doesn't mean that there will never be a broader range of free grants for individuals. As of the date of this article; however, there are not; for example, free grants for personal debt. To stay current with grant opportunities, individuals should frequently check for new programs.

 

In addition to government websites, there are also private foundations and website links that can assist in grant searches, in addition to submitting grant application proposals.

 

Meanwhile, if there is not yet available; or if you do not qualify, for a free grant you never have to pay back, there are still other options including state assistance programs. The best tip is to keep all your mind open to other solutions. Instead of focusing only on; for example, a free grant to pay bills, also look for assistance to help you meet other expenses (such as food or housing assistance), which would free-up money to pay debts.

  

Turn over every stone, be watchful of scams and; if you find a program which you may qualify for, consider having an experienced, professional company submit your application. For example, a lawyer that specializes in SSI disability may increase your chances of getting supplemental security income approval.

 

 

Tips:

Don't try to call the United States Department of Grants. There isn't one. Federal agencies may have different rules for who is eligible for grants and loans and how to apply.

 

To get an idea of all the federal grants available, browse the online Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. These listings are updated annually.

 

Be aware that grants require you to submit a proposal to the federal agency describing what you plan to do with the money. Even after submitting a proposal, it may be quite some time before the agency either approves or denies your request.

 

Grants also require you to fill out forms, generally on a quarterly basis, that tell how much money you have spent and what you have spent it on, as well as how you are progressing on the work you promised to do.

 

A better approach for most consumers is to visit GovBenefits.gov. You check off which categories you fit into (for example, veteran) and then answer a series of questions. GovBenefits will identify loans and sources of financial assistance for which you may be eligible and tell you how and where to apply. You may be surprised what you are eligible for- there are forms of assistance available for a variety of personal situations including disaster victims, farmers, or people with teaching experience.

 

Grant to go to college? Facts:

You can fill out an application for Federal Student Aid by visiting the Department of Education's website. You may be asked to provide information about your income and your family's income to determine your eligibility. Save report cards and transcripts in case you need to report your grades. Have a good idea of what schools you plan to apply to and what you want to study.

 

Visit GovLoans.gov to learn more about well-known programs such as Pell Grants, Work-Study, and Perkins and Stafford Loans.

 

The Department of Veterans Affairs website can tell you more about the "GI Bill" and other programs for veterans and their survivors and dependents.

 

GovLoans.gov also has information about Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). Eligible parents can borrow to pay the educational expenses of dependent undergraduate children who are enrolled in school at least part-time.

 

Beware of "scholarship scams." For example, be wary when you hear that your bank account number is needed to "hold" the scholarship. Be sure the scholarship is legitimate before giving out any personal information.

 

 

Grant to buy a home? Facts:

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) helps individuals by giving grants to non-profits and local governments, however HUD does not offer assistance directly to consumers. Visit or call the HUD office in your state to find out more.

 

Here are some HUD loans and other options to explore:

 

HUD's Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insures loans, allowing you to purchase a home for as little as 3% down. Anyone can apply, but there is a limit on the loan amount they will insure-this varies according to geographic area. You can also wrap the closing costs into your mortgage.

 

A foreclosed or "HUD Home" may have a lower asking price. Most HUD Homes are affordable for low to moderate income families.

 

Through the Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans and their families may be eligible for loans to buy a home.

 

The United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service insures loans for the purchase of homes in rural communities.

 

Fannie Mae has a website that can help you find a low cost mortgage and a lender that are right for you.

 

 

Grant to pay rent? Facts:

Visit HUD's website to learn about programs to assist you in renting a house or apartment. You can locate low-income housing, or apply for a Section 8 voucher that you can use to pay some or all of your rent.

 

The Rural Housing Service makes financing available to elderly, disabled, or low-income apartment residents in rural areas to ensure they are able to make rent payments.

 

 

Grant to start a business? Facts:

There are no grants for starting or expanding a business, but the Small Business Administration (SBA) has loans to help you start a business. You can also get all the forms you need online.

 

You can also visit a SBA Small Business Development Center for help with starting, financing, or expanding your business.

 

 

Government grant, unclaimed money and unclaimed property

As the saying goes: "Buyer Beware". If you see ads claiming you qualify to receive a "free grant" for education, to start a home business or to payoff unpaid bills but you must pay a processing or membership fee to obtain the information, be wary. Scam artists will claim your grant application is guaranteed to be accepted and approved, and you never have to repay the money. But the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns that these grant offers are often a scam. The grant isn't free, nor is it guaranteed, nor is a refund.

 

According to the FTC, some scam artists market "free grants" in classified ads and on the internet, as in the example ad below:

 

Example of Grant Scam Advertisement - courtesy of FTC

FREE GRANTS Never Repay — acceptance guaranteed. Government and private sources $500 - $5,000. Education, home repairs, home purchase, business, non-profits. Phone live operators 9am-9pm. Monday-Saturday 1-800-###-####, ext. [###]

  

When you call their toll free phone number, here's an example of what happens:

 

A company representative asks non-threatening, simple questions to supposedly determine if you qualify to receive a grant. The representative then acts as if he/she is checking your eligibility, and then congratulates you as being eligible. But for you to get the grant information from them, they will charge you a processing fee. Although they will promise you that the grant is guaranteed or you can get your money back, the truth is far different.

 

They will tell you that the processing fee is for finding a grant source and sending you the appropriate application package in the mail. But you won't receive an application or a source. Instead they send you a list of agencies and foundations which you must write and request an application. In order to get your refund, you must apply to; and be rejected by, all these agencies within 90 days.

 

Most grantors don't award grants to individuals for personal needs. Generally grants are to serve mankind and communities as a whole, such as job expansion, training under-employed youth, preserving history, funding charities, art museums, or for researching medical issues. So, even if you're in a financial hardship, or you may be an unwed mother, a single parent, a minority, etc, you're not likely to get approved for a personal use grant. And you may as well forget about getting a refund from the grant "broker" because the conditions for a refund are nearly impossible, requiring you to apply at every grantor on the list they provided to you and be denied by each resource within 90 days. If even one resource doesn't reject you within the first 90 days, you won't get your refund, nor will you get it back if the rejections are past the 90 day requirement.

 

If you're thinking about applying for a grant, remember that the applications are available to you for free and that anyone who guarantees you a grant is likely to be interested in their own financial gain, not yours. If you think you may have been a victim of a grant scam, file a complaint with the FTC by visiting www.ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261.

Grants for Organizations and Individuals

 

A federal grant is financial assistance from a federal agency and the grant recipient must carry out a public purpose authorized by a law of the United States. Federal grants are not federal assistance or loans to individuals and may not used to get property or services for the federal government's direct benefit. There are 26 Federal Agencies that offer over 1,000 grant programs in different categories. 

 

Here are the 26 agencies that provide grants: The Department of Health and Human Services, Agency for International Development, Corporation for National and Community Service, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of the Interior, Department of Justice, Department of Labor, Department of State, Department of Transportation, Department of the Treasury, Department of Veterans Affairs, Environmental Protection Agency, Institute of Museum and Library Services, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Science Foundation, Small Business Administration, and the Social Security Administration.

 

There are infomercials and websites that advertise free money, however few are available to individuals and there are none available that provides personal financial assistance. You can find out if you are eligible to apply for grants on Grants.gov website and you can watch a tutorial. If you register as an Individual, you will only be able to apply to grant opportunities that are open to individuals. An individual cannot submit a grant application to a grant opportunity that is just open to organizations. 

 

Some examples of Organizations are: Government, State, Local, City, Township, Special District, Native American Tribal Governments, Education, Public Housing, and Non-Profit Organizations.

 

Small business loans and small business grants may be awarded to companies that meet the size standards that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has established for most industries in the economy. The most common size standards are as follows:

 

* 500 employees for most manufacturing and mining industries

 

* 100 employees for all wholesale trade industries

 

* $6 million for most retail and service industries

 

* $28.5 million for most general & heavy construction industries

 

* $12 million for all special trade contractors

 

* $0.75 million for most agricultural industries

 

About one-fourth of industries have a size standard that is different from the levels above and they vary from $0.75 million to $28.5 million for size standards. This is based on average annual revenues and from 100 to 1500 employees for size standards based on number of employees. With some exceptions, all federal agencies, and many state and local governments, use the size standards established by SBA.

Government Money

 

The government has rural housing repair loans and grants programs and these may provide loans and grants to low-income homeowners. Homeowners use these programs to repair or improve their homes or to remove health hazards of their rural dwellings. Loans can be arranged for up to 20 years at a low interest rate. There are some grants for who are 62 years of age or older and can be used only to pay for repairs and improvements to remove health hazards. Loan or grant combinations may be arranged for people who can repay part of the cost. Low-income for this program is defined as those below 50 percent of the area median income.

 

Some program requirements are that you must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident who lives in a rural area. There may be some loans of up to $20,000 and grants of up to $7,500. A real estate mortgage is required for loans of $7,500 or more and full title services are required for loans of $7,500 or more. Grants may be recaptured if the property is sold in less than three years and loans and grants can be combined for up to $27,500 in assistance. Visit the govbenefits.gov website for this information.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing redeems partially destroyed or badly damaged currency for free. The U.S. Treasury handles about 30,000 claims each year and redeems mutilated currency. They use experts to examine mutilated currency and will approve the issuance of a Treasury check for the value of the currency determined to be redeemable. If you want to know what mutilated currency is see the descriptions below:

 

* More than one-half of the original note is not clear

 

* It is in such a condition the value is questionable and needs special examination.

 

Currency can become mutilated in many ways like by means of fire, water, chemicals, explosives; animal, insect or rodent damage; and by burying. Regulations issued by the Department of the Treasury, mutilated U.S. currency may be exchanged at face value if more than 50% of a note identifiable as United States currency or 50% or less of a note is identifiable as U.S. currency and the method of mutilation and evidence demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Treasury that the missing portions have been totally destroyed.



More IRS tax forms to file and new credits and deductions for 2009 - When taxpayers sit down to file their 2009 returns, they will find plenty new -- some the result of adjusting for inflation, and other changes passed by Congress last year to try to bring the country out of recession.

 

Use our free IRS tax calculator

 

Some things affect all taxpayers. The personal exemption, for example, has increased, to $3,650 each for the taxpayer and dependents, up $150 from 2008.

 

And tax brackets have been adjusted upward by about 5 percent since 2008. That means you might not jump to a higher tax bracket if you earned more.

 

Others revisions are more likely to affect low and moderate income workers. Income limits for the earned income tax credit have been raised and there's a new category -- families with three or more children. The Internal Revenue Service says one in six taxpayers claim the credit.

 

Still other changes affect those at higher income levels. The exemption for the alternative minimum tax has been increased once again, this time to $70,950 for joint returns and $46,700 for individuals. If your income is higher than these amounts, you could be subject to the AMT tax. These changes are among those that happen every year, to keep taxes in line with inflation. But there are a host of other revisions, new for 2009, that will make filing your tax return this year a little more complicated.

 

For one thing, the standard deduction for taxpayers who don't itemize has become a little less standard.

 

The standard deduction itself has increased to $11,400 for married couples filing jointly, $5,700 for individuals and $8,350 for heads of household. As before, it is even bigger if you are blind or 65 or over.

 

But new this year, you can take more of a standard deduction if you paid state or local real estate taxes, bought a new car and paid sales or excise taxes and met the income limits, or were a victim of a federally declared disaster. If you choose to increase your standard deduction by one or more of these items, you'll have to file a new form Schedule L. Otherwise, you can just enter the standard deduction on Form 1040.

 

 

The three deductions -- for state or local real estate taxes, sales or excise taxes on new car purchases or net disaster losses -- also can be taken by people who itemize.

 

There are expanded tax credits for home purchases and education. And a tax credit for making your home more energy efficient has been reinstated.

 

Tax experts caution people to be careful that they're claiming every deduction and credit to which they're entitled. A credit reduces the amount of tax you owe; a deduction reduces the income on which taxes are assessed.

 

You're likely already receiving the benefit of the Making Work Pay credit under the stimulus bill that Congress passed last year. However, you may have to pay a portion back if you're a married couple and both spouses work, or if you have more than one job. If you're a low- or moderate-income worker, you might have some money due to you. A new form, Schedule M, will have to be filed to claim the credit.

 

 

Avoid errors and file online to get a fast tax refund: Some errors are mathematical. Others involve omission -- like failing to include your Social Security number or those of your dependents. Make sure you pick the correct filing status -- head of household or surviving spouse vs. single, for example. And don't forget to sign your return.

 

Last year, the IRS received more than 141 million tax returns. Of those, about 70 percent were filed electronically. More than 110 million filers were due refunds, averaging $2,753 each.

 

The IRS encourages people to file electronically, saying it reduces errors and enables people to get their refunds more quickly. People who file electronically and use direct deposit can get their refunds as soon as 10 days after they file.

 

This year, the agency estimates that it will take taxpayers using form 1040 an average 21.4 hours to complete their taxes. That includes record keeping, tax planning, and completing and filing the return. The more complicated your return, the more time it will take to complete it.

 

 

Changes for homeowners: One major thing that taxpayers will find different this year is the homebuyer tax credit. In 2008, the credit was actually an interest free, long term loan. For people who purchased a home in 2009, the credit is a true credit -- it only has to be paid back if you stop using the home as your principal residence within three years of purchase. The credit is $8,000 for first-time homebuyers, defined as those who haven't owned a home in the last three years. Congress also added a credit for long-time homeowners who purchase a new principal residence -- $6,500. To qualify, a homebuyer would have had to live at least five years in a previously owned home. There are income limitations for both.

  

  

Expanded credit for college education: The new American opportunity credit provides a maximum annual credit of $2,500 per student for each of the first four years of college. The Hope credit that the new credit replaces temporarily covered only the first two years and for most people was smaller. To be eligible, taxpayers would have to pay $4,000 or more in tuition, fees and course materials. The credit, which phases out at higher incomes, is 40% refundable. This means that even people who owe no tax can get an annual payment of the credit up to $1,000 for each eligible student. What about those students who take more than four years to finish college? If you're in your fifth year, you're out of luck. However, there is another credit -- the lifetime learning credit -- that may be available for students in their fifth or sixth year of college, or in graduate school.

  

 

Other tax changes: Other changes include the reinstatement of the credit for making your home more energy efficient. The maximum credit has increased, to $1,500 for $5,000 in expenditures on things like insulation, storm windows or an energy efficient furnace.

 

For people who lost jobs, the first $2,400 in unemployment benefits is not taxable.

 

To benefit from most of the tax breaks, you would have had to take action before the end of 2009. But there are a couple of exceptions. You still might be able to claim the homebuyer credit if you have a signed contract by April 30. And, if at the end of the day you find you owe the IRS money or want a bigger refund, you may be able to contribute to an individual retirement account until April 15 and take a deduction on your 2009 taxes.

 

If you're covered by a plan at work, you may be able to deduct a contribution of $5,000 -- $6,000 if you're at least 50 -- if your modified adjusted gross income is less than $65,000 if you're filing as an individual, or $109,000 if you're married filing jointly.

 

 

Three tax deductions -- for state or local real estate taxes, sales or excise taxes on new car purchases or net disaster losses -- also can be taken by people who itemize.

 

There are expanded tax credits for home purchases and education. And a tax credit for making your home more energy efficient has been reinstated.

 

Tax experts caution people to be careful that they're claiming every deduction and credit to which they're entitled. A credit reduces the amount of tax you owe; a deduction reduces the income on which taxes are assessed.

 

You're likely already receiving the benefit of the Making Work Pay credit under the stimulus bill that Congress passed last year. However, you may have to pay a portion back if you're a married couple and both spouses work, or if you have more than one job. If you're a low- or moderate-income worker, you might have some money due to you. A new form, Schedule M, will have to be filed to claim the credit.

 



Government Grant Money

 

When applying for a grant, be sure to locate a grant that interests you and apply. Be sure to record the Funding Opportunity Number and/or CFDA Number and then use a few basic steps to get started. You usually need to download an application package to complete and then submit the package. If there are any problems trying to locate or apply for a grant, usually there is a resource or user guide page on the grant website.

 

 

There are grant programs for federal or state grants, and there is a difference between organizational and individual grant applicants. An organizational grant applicant is for one who submits a grant on behalf of a company, state, local or tribal government, academia, or other type of organization.

 

A grant for an individual is a person who submits a grant for themselves and is not doing it for some type of organization. Visit the grant.gov site to search and apply for grants.

 

By downloading an application package, you can complete the forms at your leisure and you could have someone help you complete them. To submit electronic grant applications, you would need the status of an Authorized Organization Representative (AOR). It is easy to check your grant status by logging into Grants.gov, if you registered your username and password. Visit the grants.gov website for this information and more, as well as listings of grants. Don't be scammed by websites that want to charge large you large amounts of money just to give you information about grants.



Government Money

 

A good example of government money are grants or funds. For example a grant was given for neighborhood revitalization in New Orleans. This was a $1 million dollar grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). This was to help Urban Strategies, Inc. foster a self-sufficiency and safe neighborhoods in New Orleans. The goal is to revitalize the Harmony Oaks community and implement a building program for local nonprofits to promote economic recovery and help low-income families secure and retain jobs. The efforts revolved around transforming Harmony Oaks into a vibrant mixed-income community and rental units, home ownership units, a K-4 charter school, a health suite, and a recreation facility.

 

Some grants can be used for social means to help families and children get out of cycles of poverty. There can be grants to turn areas into thriving economically benefiting areas for people. The one million dollar grant was awarded through the Strengthening Communities Fund (SCF) at the Department of Health and Human Services. They awarded millions to 84 grantees to build nonprofit organizations help with some economic recovery issues in their communities. Money to help low-income individuals find and keep employment, earn higher wages, and achieve self-sufficiency are indeed important uses of funds. Visit the Grants.gov. website for these details and more information.

How Credit Card Debt Gets To A Collection Agency - Wondering why you're getting calls from a debt collection company instead of from your credit card issuer?

 

Your credit card issuer will invest only so-many months attempting to contact you and to get you to repay the balance, either in a lump sum (even possibly after negotiating for a lower settlement), or to once again make your minimal monthly payments on time.

 

After your credit card issuer has exhausted those efforts, the will give up and charge off your debt. They will then sell your debt to a collection agency, which pays pennies on the dollar to acquire your account debt. That's how you end up owing the payoff (or settlement amount) to a collection agency instead of to the original creditor (the card company).

 

Whether you owe debt to a collection agency or to a credit card company, you can get a credit counseling or debt consolidation quote. You can also learn do-it-yourself free debt settlement and draft your own debt settlement letter, or let a professional negotiation company do the work for you.
