Can you elaborate a bit? This seems extreme on FEMA's part and, if this is a rule that they always follow, then, most of the folks involved in this flooding catastrophe should have this info.

If you have time:

Can you give us more details on your call, what questions did you ask and what was their exact answer?

Thanks.

In the fine print of the appication, it says that to receive a grant from FEMA, you have to be declined an SBA Loan.

My adjuster hasn't even come yet Fwiw.

Anyway, I called FEMA and they confirmed that. They use credit scores to determine whether you qualify for a loan. If you have a good credit score, you'll be approved. If you're approved for a loan, you're automatically denied a grant from FEMA.

The only way to get a grant from FEMA, is to be denied a loan (based on credit score).

Terrible stuff.
