INSTRUCTIONS FOR ONLINE AND PAPER APPLICATIONS

1.       Login to choggiung.com/cares and read the Shareholder COVID-19 Relief Program Policy. If you are filing online click the link on the bottom of the page; this will bring you to the application. If you are filing a paper application, click the link to the PDF printable version.

2.       Once on the application page, click on the fillable cells next to the requested information and type in relevant information.

3.       Complete the application in full, including date of birth, current mailing address, phone number, and email address, impacts by COVID-19, and signature. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

4.       The next step is to select which ways you were impacted.  If you have been directly impacted by the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, please indicate all impacts by clicking the check box next to each reason that accurately describes your personal situation. Leaving this section blank will determine the applicant ineligible for Program assistance.  If you check “Other” in this section, please use the space below to explain the financial hardship.

5.       Certify your application by signing your name at the bottom. Unsigned applications will not be accepted. *Tip: If you are using your phone to file an application, unlock your screen so the application is in horizontal view.  

6.       Once you have signed the application, click the “send application” button.  You should receive a pop-up prompt that confirms your application was submitted successfully.  Some may receive an additional e-mail confirmation.

7.       If you are filing multiple applications, after getting confirmation that your application was successfully received, click “clear” at the bottom of the page. This will bring you to a blank application and you may proceed with filing for the next shareholder.

8.       Note: Some people may receive a “Captcha” popup when they submit the application, which uses selection of images to verify you are in fact a person (not a remote computer).
