FEMA never charges for an inspection.
Even if you applied for assistance for a previous disaster, you must apply again for this disaster.
Any aid you receive from FEMA will not affect your Social Security benefits, your state or federal retirement benefits, or your welfare status.
FEMA and the State coordinate a number of programs to help disaster victims. These programs differ from the emergency food, clothing and shelter provided by the American Red Cross and other voluntary agencies.
Registering with the American Red Cross or any voluntary agency is not the same as registering with FEMA.
There are enough disaster funds to take care of every eligible applicant.
Federal disaster aid programs may be available to those who suffered damage, regardless of income.
The SBA is the primary source of financial assistance following a disaster and provides low-interest loans to homeowners, renters, business, and non-profits.
The SBA has its own criteria for determining each loan applicant’s eligibility.
A renter may qualify for a FEMA grant or a SBA low-interest disaster loan to replace eligible personal property.
FEMA provides grants to qualified homeowners to repair damage not covered by insurance but the grants may not pay for all the damage. Qualified borrowers who lack sufficient homeowner’s insurance may use an SBA loan to return their homes to pre-disaster condition.
You do not have to repay grant money but you must repay SBA loans.
Qualified disaster relief payments are not taxable.
