FEMA Announces Deadlines for Pandemic Claims
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) released new information on the deadline for COVID-19 claims in its Public Assistance program. The Agency will accept claims related to costs incurred from the COVID-19 pandemic through July 1, 2022. FEMA has already awarded more than $42 billion to states, territories and non-profits to help offset losses from emergency medical care, personal protective equipment purchases, testing, vaccinations and other pandemic-related costs. Those wishing to submit a claim should visit FEMA’s Grants Portal to file for reimbursement.
