Will FEMA contact me to ask for personal information to apply?
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.
FEMA will not contact you unless you have already called FEMA and applied for COVID-19 Funeral Assistance. Do not disclose information such as the name, birth date, or Social Security number of any deceased individual during an unsolicited telephone call or e-mail from anyone.
Phone calls from FEMA may come from an unidentified number. If you doubt a caller is legitimate, hang up and report the call to the COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Helpline at 844-684-6333 or the National Center for Fraud Hotline at 866-720-5721.
