FEMA assistance is not taxable. Applying for disaster assistance will not affect other federal benefits you may receive. Accepting FEMA funds will not affect eligibility for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, or other federal benefit programs. Disaster funds help survivors pay for temporary housing, essential home repairs, essential personal property replacement, and other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance or other sources. If you live in Fairfield, Litchfield or New Haven county and you had loss or damage from the Severe Storm, Flooding, Landslides and Mudslides that occurred August 18-19, 2024, FEMA may be able to help.
