Rumor: FEMA may be able to reimburse me for lodging expenses if I’m displaced from my primary residence.

Fact

FEMA may be able to provide reimbursement for out-of-pocket lodging expenses that are not covered by insurance benefits. A resident’s pre-disaster primary residence must be unlivable or inaccessible to be considered.

Keep copies of your receipts so you can file them along with your disaster assistance application.
