What if I disagree with the type or amount of FEMA assistance I was approved for?

If you do not agree with FEMA’s decision, you can appeal by showing why you need additional assistance. The determination letter you receive from FEMA will have more information about the types of documents you should send.

You may use an optional Appeal Request form, which is included in the determination letter you receive from FEMA. You can also choose to write and sign a letter to send with your documents to help FEMA understand why you need help. Learn more about appealing FEMA’s decision.
