What This Bill Would Do
This bill extends the time period and removes income limits for disaster survivors to receive federal aid without it being reduced by other insurance or assistance payments. It specifically updates the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 to ensure more individuals qualify for these s after major disasters.
The bill ensures that disaster survivors who receive multiple forms of aid—such as insurance payouts and federal grants—are not penalized by having their federal assistance reduced, regardless of their income level or the date of the disaster.
