Ineligible Recertification. Applicants who use their Rental assistance to secure temporary housing can ask for and receive additional payments, known as Continued Temporary Housing Assistance.  However, the applicant needs to send documents to show they have a continued need and meet the eligibility requirements for continued assistance.  FEMA refers to this process as recertification. This status is used when an applicant does not qualify for an additional Continued Temporary Housing Assistance payment.
