How to Appeal

Graphic
Graphic on how to appeal a FEMA decision, including how to submit an appeal form or write an appeal letter and 3 ways to submit your appeal

Once FEMA has reviewed your application, the results of the inspection and/or documentation submitted, you will get a letter explaining:

  • whether you are approved for assistance
  • how much assistance you will receive
  • how the assistance must be used
  • how to appeal FEMA’s decision if you do not agree with it

The letter will be sent to you by email or mail based on what you selected when you completed your application.

If you disagree with FEMA’s decision, you may appeal. It must be submitted within 60 days of the date of the decision letter.

If you have questions regarding the letter you received or how to file an appeal, call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. If you use video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA your number for that service.
