Warrants generally take approximately 4 to 6 weeks for release by the State Controller’s Office. Faxed copies of Request for Disbursement are acceptable, when followed-up with the original executed document. When your organization is requesting funding for construction and/or rehabilitation activities, remember to deduct the 10% retention from each progress payment, if your contractor has not already done so in the project invoice.
