11 Minimum Eligibility Screening and Appeals Process: 1)HSD will notify applicants, as soon as possible and in writing, if the application was incomplete or did not meet the minimum eligibility requirements and will therefore NOT be rated by the rating committee. 2)Applicants who believe that this determination was made in error may submit a written appeal within 5 business days from the date of written notification by HSD. 3)Such an appeal will only be determined to have merit if the applicant proves that the application did meet the minimum requirements, qualifications, formatting standards, and was complete. 4)No additional information or details not included in the original application will be considered. 5)A successful appeal will result in the inclusion of the application in the review and rating process (and does not guarantee an award). 11

16 HSD Online Submission System 16 Review the Online Submission Assistance Page for helpful information: http://web6.seattle.gov/hsd/rfi/help.aspx. http://web6.seattle.gov/hsd/rfi/help.aspx All applicants are expected to make arrangements to ensure that applications are received by HSD by the funding opportunity application deadline. You are encouraged to submit your application early when possible. It is advisable to upload your documents several hours prior to the deadline in case you encounter an issue with your internet connectivity which impacts your ability to upload documents. If you encounter internet connectivity issues, attempting to submit your application early will allow time for you to submit a hard copy by the deadline instead. HSD is not responsible for ensuring that applications are received by the deadline. If you experience any issues and/or have questions about the online submission system, please contact Susan McCallister, HSD Funding Process Advisor, by phone at (206) 233-0014 or e-mail at susan.mccallister@seattle.gov.susan.mccallister@seattle.gov
