HEERF II Covid grants

[bluegreen3082]

Has anyone else been contacted by their school about applying for a HEERF (Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund) II grant to cover Covid-related expenses? It says housing and food qualify as some of the eligible costs, but I would have been paying for that regardless of whether there was a global pandemic. I studied remotely this year rather than moving to the city where my grad school is located, so perhaps there's an argument that I wasn't able to take part in discounted university-sponsored housing or meal plans (my school has this). I qualify to apply for it, but I'm a little confused as to whether I should or not.
