Federal COVID-Related Funeral Reimbursements Available

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reminds American about the American Rescue Plan that has money available for funeral and burial costs to families who lost a loved one due to COVID-19. The assistance is a $9,000 benefit that every single American family is entitled to, regardless of income, if their family member died of anything attributed to COVID-19. In order to access the funds, families should call FEMA at 844-684-6333 and have their loved one’s death certificate and receipts for the funeral costs.
