INFORMATION REGARDING DISCLOSURE OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER UNDER PL 93-579, SECTION 7(b) - E.O. 9397 authorizes the collection of the SSN. The SSN is

No Stipend Required
I understand that the stipend for which I am applying is a portion of the Federal Government's share of the expense of attending a course offered by the National Fire Academy (NFA) or the
Emergency Management Institute (EMI). I have read and understand the reimbursement limits as explained in my acceptance material.
If, due to my own fault, I fail to successfully complete the course in which I am enrolled, the Superintendent may deny reimbursement after consideration of relevant evidence. Appeal of the
Superintendent's decision may be made by filing a written request with the Director, NETC Management, Operations and Support Services, 16825 S. Seton Avenue, Emmitsburg, MD
21727, within 10 working days of receipt of the Superintendent's initial decision. His decision is final.
I understand that, under the terms of this agreement, I will not receive any of the rights, benefits, and privileges of a Federal employee. It is further understood that my presence on
Government property will be in accordance with Federal laws that govern such property.
I understand that FEMA is limited by law to the portion of student expenses for attendance which they may reimburse and that I may be required to pay a portion of this expense.
I understand that this reimbursement will be electronically deposited into the account I designated above. I further understand that I should expect to receive reimbursement within 6-8 weeks
of start date of the course.
I understand that I must file for reimbursement at time of registration of resident courses, within 30 days of start of selected off-campus courses, or within 60 days of start of Regional
Delivery courses, or my claim WILL be denied.
I certify that the stipend expenses for which I am seeking reimbursement do not qualify for reimbursement under any other program, Federal or otherwise.
If I am claiming reimbursement for POV travel, I certify that I am the vehicle's driver, and no passengers are claiming reimbursement.
