Do I have to incur COVID-19-related funeral expenses before the Public Health Emergency and National Emergency declarations for COVID-19 end on May 11, 2023, to be eligible for COVID-19 Funeral Assistance?

No. The end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency and National Emergency declarations will not affect the eligibility period for COVID-19-related funeral expenses. You must incur COVID-19-related funeral expenses on or after January 20, 2020, to be eligible for COVID-19 Funeral Assistance. FEMA will release more information when an end date is established.
