Are the individual claimant self-certification requirements listed in the SAP and Award Letter in conflict with the self-certification requirements presented in the Presidential Memorandum?
The COVID-19 incident period ended on May 11, 2023. FEMA will continue to provide funeral assistance until Sept. 30, 2025, to those who have lost loved ones due to this pandemic.
No, FEMA has determined that the language used in the State Administrative Plan and Award Letter do not conflict. The supplemental lost wages benefits-eligible claimant definition aligns with the supplemental assistance provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and with the President’s direction to provide supplemental lost wages payments to eligible individuals who are unemployed or partially unemployed due to disruptions caused by COVID-19.
