Anyone that registered on Monday hear anything from FEMA? Like even just a phone call to set up the inspection?
Registered Monday, called Tuesday or Wednesday (can't remember my days are lost), came and inspected yesterday. See previous post for details of inspection

Ok, thanks for the info.
I keep telling my dad that it could take awhile to contact them.

Wow I am in an eerily similar situation as you. Please update the thread with how this turns out.
I reviewed the status of my grandfather's claim online last night and just spoke on the phone with a FEMA rep to confirm. He has been approved and a check has already been mailed for the maximum amount: $33,000.00. ($26,389.84 for real property, $4,498.16 for personal property and $2,112.00 for rental assistance). He is ineligible for moving/storage expenses because his losses exceed program limits.
I don't know how they determine who gets what but my pawpaw is 94 and his only income is social security and a BASF pension. He initially told me his house was 2600 sq ft which I knew sounded low and my husband confirmed last night that it is closer to 3600 sq ft. FEMA marked his water level at 1 foot 8 inches. He did not have flood insurance because he did not live in a flood zone. Hope this gives you some hope. Not that $33,000.00 even begins to monetarily cover what he lost.
Now onto tackling his State Farm homeowners claim for the caved in roof and the valuables that were stolen by looters before we could return. Of note, they didn't just take tv's and other property but also his unused checks and some bank info so I have had to freeze all accounts.

I just got a letter emailed to me about my dad's case. They currently qualify for rental assistance at the moment because their home is not accessible($841 for the month). Letter says to contact FEMA when the home is accessible for an inspection. When I registered them online I checked the "unknown" option regarding damage because we didn't know at that point. My dad is on hold with them right now to try and update them about that(it wouldn't let me do that online).
Sooo....if you haven't heard from FEMA and you preregistered before you knew the damage....maybe that's why they haven't called yet?

Anyone else with any updates? We still haven't been contacted.

Same boat as you, registered Monday. Just called said my inspection had not been assigned yet.

Is there a formula that is used to determine funds received? Is it totally subjective? Anybody have experience with this?
The fema rep that came to the house I was working on did measurements of all walls, and noted which were exterior. Also noted all appliances, and what the function of each room was. The way he made it sound was that he is contracted to collect data, which he inputs to a program, and it is uploaded to fema. They have a formula that has an avg dollar amount associated with replacing a linear foot of wall, a set of bedroom furniture, a refrigerator, etc. He was made it sound like it was not subjective at all, the data is crunched and that's all fema sees as he is only a contractor of sorts, he has very little ability to comment one way or the other. How true that is I have no idea, tifwiw.
ETA: the lady has not heard back from Fema beyond that, and no he did not ask us to save any materials and really offered nothing in the way of how to proceed with cleanup.

That's the way it should work. No emotions.

I couldn't complain about the guy, he seemed nice enough and unassuming for a yankee. The strange thing to me that conflicts with what I've been told is he didn't take any pictures or ask for any.

My dad was able to talk to someone with FEMA last night (he called the 1 800 number and sat on hold until a rep was available). He updated his info on his app over the phone to reflect that their home for sure suffered flood damage but was accessible now. My dad was told an inspector will call him in the next day or so to set up an inspection.
So we just wait now.

Our inspector only took pictures of the inside and outside water line and one of the den. He told us we could by contacted by FEMA at later date for a "photo quality control inspection"
He did not measure any room. Asked us total square feet and that was it.

Any new updates from anybody?

Just checked my parents account. They got approved for $842 for rental assistance (like anyone could find a place to rent in the area for $842 right now).
The personal property stuff is still listed as pending.

When you say "personal property" are you referring to dry wall, floors, etc.?
And yeah, $842 for rental assistance? That's a dick sandwich.

$842? Wtf are you supposed to do with that?
