Requesting payment

Español

As a contractor working with the Homeowner Assistance and Reconstruction Program (HARP), you can request payment at specific project milestones by submitting a formal draw request. These requests, when applicable, will include invoices, receipts, and proof of work that correspond to the completion of key stages in the project. Once submitted, a construction advisor (CA) will inspect the work to verify completion before the payment is processed.

There are specific milestones, depending on the project type, set by HARP that correspond to completion of stages of the project. You can submit a formal request for payment, known as a draw request, directly to HARP at each of these milestones, but it is not required. Make sure to include invoices, receipts, and proof of work.

When a draw request is submitted, a CA will conduct an inspection to verify the related work was completed.

There are several important details to note:

• The homeowner may be required to sign off on work before the program can approve a draw inspection.
• You can continue working on the property while a draw request and inspection process take place.
• Before submitting another draw request for additional work performed, all contractors or vendors who have been fully paid for all previous draw requests must sign a lien waiver acknowledging receipt of payment.
• You can combine draw requests if the entire scope of work up to that point has been completed.
