According to the
FSC's blog post on XBIZ from July that provided some details about how the reimbursement program would function:
Quote:
10. When does it start?
FSC will begin tracking tests August 1, with the initial subsidy payout happening the first half of September.

If it is true that eligible performers (meaning performers who have registered with APHSS, tested at APHSS-approved/affiliated facilities, etc.) have not been reimbursed, then it sounds like the FSC is a little over two weeks late on the first month's reimbursement, and reimbursement for September tests is not yet due.
According to that same blog post, it sounds like the person for performers to inquire with is Julie, who can be reached at (818) 348-9373 or

Mike, given what you know about the performers you've heard from (or seen complaints from, or however you became aware of the problem) do you think there's a chance that they either didn't register with APHSS, didn't provide APHSS with their mailing address, or didn't inform the testing facility that they were participating in the program? Any one of those omissions could result in not being reimbursed.
I'm not defending the FSC here; I'm just trying to help to get to the bottom of the problem, and in reading that blog post with some details about the program, I can see some possible explanations other than malfeasance or incompetence on the part of the FSC.
IME, sometimes the people who are owed money are the ones dropping the ball in situations like this. More than once, I've received an angry email from a webmaster wondering where his TopBucks check is, only to find out that he had moved, didn't file a change of address form with the post office, and never updated his TopBucks account info with his new address.
