Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Grant Information

What does my County need to do?
  • Ensure that your County Fiscal Court office or Metro government has completed and provided your organization with a SIGNED copy of the 2023-2024 County Applicat​​ion (G1 Form) because you MUST attach it to your Ambulance Block Grant Application in KEMSIS.
  • Include your state Vendor Code (9 Characters, with 'KY' or 'KS' starting the code - Ex'KY0002653') to your Ambulance Block Grant Application in KEMSIS.  If you need a vendor code,  you will need to register via the Kentucky Vendor Self Service (VSS) System (link below).  KBEMS will once again use Direct Deposit for the disbursement of funds to your county. Please ensure the information on your VSS account file is correct.
