WASHINGTON, D.C. – The federal government is announcing a program offering families up to $9,000 for COVID-19 related funeral expenses.
Under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, FEMA is providing financial assistance for COVID-19 related funeral expenses incurred after January 20, 2020.
Applications are being accepted as of today, April 12, 2021. Call 844-684-6333 toll-free phone number to get a COVID-19 Funeral Assistance application completed with help from FEMA’s representatives. Multilingual services will be available.Hours of Operation are Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern time.
The deceased person’s death certificate must list COVID as primary or contributing cause. If COVID wasn’t listed for your loved one (as many were early on), you can have the cert amended by the hospital, according to Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She also says documented people can apply for lost loved ones who were undocumented.
Giving away more money. Where is it all coming from? When will the handouts to losers finally end?
2024???
we will be completely broke by then
already are, Thanks trump
There is a product on the market called life insurance. If you are young it will be cheap. If you were over 60 and died of COVID, we all die sometime. The government needs to stay out of the funeral business? Our education tax money should be used to teach students to financially prepare for the future.
WOW, how much is that going to cost the American tax payer, through no fault of their own.
I know. They should be charging the Trump organization for those funerals.
You got that damn straight.
Most worthless POS to have ever sat in the Oval Office.
You elected Biden so you should probably shut up. If you would have had a decent candidate – and a decent person – Biden wouldn’t be President. But no, you decided to go with a liar and a cheat and the American people responded like the Who song “Won’t Get Fooled Again”.
47 years in politics, and now he’s going to do something.
You elected Biden Pees and Toots. He has done more in the first 3 months about covid than trump did in a year. And remind me again who it was that pushed the drug manufacturers and regulatory agencies to “fast track” the vaccines and forego the normal safeguards?
Biden did absolutely nothing but follow through on the programs Trump started, He is a worthless old man with dementia and can barely read the teleprompter.
