Residents should make sure to have all the needed documents ready to go and upload because you will be unable to save your application and return to it later. <u>The application must be done all at once.<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Please note, the number of documents needed to complete the application has <strong>decreased<\/strong>. Additionally, in order to process applications faster, the $1,000 payments will go directly to the resident instead of the corresponding vendor.<\/p>\n<p>If residents cannot get through on June 15, please know there will be more opportunities to apply for these benefits in the coming weeks. The goal is to get $1,000 into the hands of 30,000 Orange County households.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orange County, Fla.\u00a0 &#8211; Orange County Government will reopen its CARES Individual and Family Assistance application portal on June 15, 2020 at 8 a.m. You can directly access the application at www.ocfl.net\/CaresForResidents.
