Demings.<\/p>\n<p>The County has already spent nearly $30 million in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocfl.net\/orangecares\">local CARES<\/a> funding on the program, which has helped nearly 30,000 households.<\/p>\n<p>The County will reopen the application portal on Monday, October 12, 2020 at 8 a.m., and Saturday, October 24, 2020, at 8 a.m., and then reevaluate the program\u2019s funding capacity. Residents can access the portal directly at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocfl.net\/CaresForResidents\">ocfl.net\/CaresForResidents<\/a>. Information on the webpage <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocfl.net\/OrangeCARES\">ocfl.net\/OrangeCARES<\/a> will be updated soon to reflect the latest information.<\/p>\n<p>The system will allow up to 10,000 users inside the application portal on each opening day to submit their documentation. Residents are urged to review the eligibility criteria, and prepare all required documents before applying. It is important to note the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Residents who have already received funding from Orange County\u2019s CARES Act Individual and Family Assistance Program, are <strong>not<\/strong> eligible to reapply.<\/li>\n<li>Photo ID, Social Security Card, and COVID-19 impact documentation <strong>must <\/strong>match the applicant\u2019s name, and cannot be from different individuals. The name entered on the application <strong>must<\/strong> match the name on the social security card in order to process the payment.<\/li>\n<li>P.O. Boxes <strong>may not<\/strong> be used as any address for this program. You must use your own physical address and not a family member\u2019s. If you use someone else\u2019s address, assistance will be denied if someone else has already received assistance or applied for assistance at that address.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information on eligibility criteria and required documents, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocfl.net\/OrangeCares\">ocfl.net\/OrangeCares<\/a>.
