FEMA Assistance
We are offering individuals and households reimbursement for eligible COVID-19-related funeral expenses.
We provided additional COVID-19 funding opportunities to state, local, tribal and territorial partners through our Emergency Management Performance, Assistance to Firefighters and Emergency Food and Shelter grant programs under the CARES Act.
The CARES Act provides an additional $45 billion to our Disaster Relief Fund, more than doubling the amount available to support the COVID-19 Emergency and Disaster Declarations.
