Can you confirm that if a county is able to apply for the full non-competitive allocation in any of three benchmark due dates for Round 1? For example, if we are NOT able to apply for Benchmark 1 by May 1st date, can we apply for Benchmark 2 and/or 3 and receive the full non-competitive allocation?

Yes, the Round 1 DSH IST Infrastructure Project includes a non-competitive rolling allocation schedule open to all counties. Counties can submit proposals for any of the benchmark due dates and still be eligible for the full allocation, until all grant funds are committed. Approved county proposals will be funded in the order in which they are received.
