Notice from Department of Revenue:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you to all the counties that sent MAS your "item list" of unbudgeted expenses due to COVID-19. This information was very helpful to the Legislature. As members of the MS Legislature are currently working towards crafting a bill to provide financial reimbursements back to counties, the Legislature is now requesting the "dollar amount" of your COVID-19 related unbudgeted expenses to date. They will use these numbers to formulate an idea of where to start as it pertains to the actual reimbursement amount.
The Legislature has asked the Mississippi Association of Supervisors to collect data on unbudgeted COVID-19 county expenditures.
Please identify and specify COVID-19 types of expenses your county has incurred or may incur. At this point we are asking for the type of expense not the amount of the expense.
Please submit this information to Steve Gray at sgray@massup.org as soon as possible.
In order for your county to receive its portion of the Use Tax Revenue, you must fill out and return the following letter to the Dept of Revenue. Counties must sign and return by May 15 or the county will lose their use tax funding.

MS Legislature is set to reconvene Today, May 1 at 1 pm to discuss the $1.25 billion Corona Virus Relief Fund. It is important that you contact house and senate members and ask that counties be included in the reimbursement process for COVID-19 related expenses.Click HERE to view House Roster.
