AAMU COVID-19 Relief

AAMU-Cares grants for COVID-19-related relief are intended to help Alabama A&M employees recover from "reasonable and necessary" expenses directly attributable to the coronavirus pandemic and the requirement of teleworking. Financial grants do not need to be repaid and are not taxable, since COVID-19 is a federally declared disaster by the President, and the payments are therefore considered “qualified disaster relief payments” under section 139 of the Internal Revenue Code.

While proof of actual expenses will not be required in order for your application to be considered, you must certify that expenses were actually incurred. You may not be reimbursed for home office furniture and home utilities.

Reimbursement will be processed for up to $1,500 per employee. Eligible expenses must have been incurred on or after March 13, 2020. An individual must be active AAMU employee or on approved Leave of Absence status as of April 30,2021.
