FEMA Offers Funeral Expenses Reimbursement Program for COVID-19 Victims

October 19, 2021 by Jeff Lewis

The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s program to help reimburse funeral expenses for victims of COVID-19 is still available, and FEMA is advising grieving families to take steps to ensure scammers don’t steal their information. Family members are eligible to get nine-thousand dollars to cover funeral expenses through the FEMA program, which began in April. FEMA’s Veronica Verde says applicants must prove their loved one died after January 20th, 2020, with COVID-19 as the likely cause of death…

But be aware, FEMA says scammers have been checking obituaries and cold-calling relatives of people who died of COVID, offering to complete the registration process for them. If this happens to you, Verde says hang up and call FEMA directly…

To collect, you must apply over the phone. To apply, call 844-684-6333. More details are on the FEMA COVID Funeral Assistance website.
