Additionally, in order to handle the continued high volumes, we have made adjustments to the update and upload process. If applicants experienced disruptions in the application process, they will be notified when they can log back in for updates and uploads.

For applicants in process, the opportunity to finish your application and upload documents will begin today, January 6th, 2021. Please note that you will be notified by email when to log in to complete your unfinished application or upload requested documents.

You will receive an email with a new password, your username will stay the same to log into the Portal. This new password will work going forward and will replace any passwords used up until this point.

This will be a slow release to prevent high volume traffic, so please check your email throughout the day.
