[https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20240823/minnesota-survivors-stay-touch-fema]


Release Date: 
août 23, 2024 

ST. PAUL – Minnesotans who applied for federal assistance may need
to follow-up with FEMA and provide more information or documents to
move their application forward. Those who still need help recovering
after the June 16 – July 4 storms and flooding and haven’t yet
applied, still have time to do so too.

APPLICANTS WITH INSURANCE

If you applied with FEMA and reported having insurance for the damage
to your home, you will need to submit the insurance settlement or
denial letter to FEMA. By law, FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for
losses covered by other sources.  

APPLICANTS APPEALING AN INITIAL FEMA DECISION

Read your FEMA letter carefully: it will provide additional
information on what to submit if you choose to appeal FEMA’s
decision. You have 60 days from the date of your letter to do so.

You may submit documents to FEMA in many ways.
