Hundreds of thousands of American families have been forced to grieve through the pandemic. Does the government have plans to step in to help with funeral costs?
QUESTION:
Is FEMA paying funeral expenses for people who died from COVID-19?
ANSWER:
There is a plan to pay for funerals and reimburse funerals that already took place.
“This new policy, and the authorities that Congress gave to FEMA, in order to pay 100% of the cost for the funeral expenses,” she said.
As a result, FEMA will pay up to $9,000 for funeral expenses per deceased individual. This includes families that already buried loved ones in 2020. They can get reimbursed.
The program will start next month.
“Basically, a claim will have a death certificate,” Zimmerman said. “The death certificate must say that cause caused by or related to COVID.
What if the $2 billion runs out?
Zimmerman said Congress set aside $50 billion to replenish FEMA’s disaster accounts. The agency would then tap into that.
so now whether families would deny the cause of their love one was from covid, they will all claim covid so they can be reimbursed for the money.
What a scam. 90% of those who died were already skating on thin ice.
