I am assuming there is a income limit in order to be eligible for the FEMA assistance? If so anyone know what it is?

TIA

Tag along question: Is anyone hearing from FEMA that you have to file a claim with your HO policy under Loss of Use before being able to get funds from FEMA for hotel reimbursement?

I still don't really know how to apply. It said you had to apply for general assistance first, which i did and got rejected.

Is that the end of the line? Is there a second application for generator/chainsaw specifically? If so, i didn't see anything.

Maybe I'm completely missing it.

I guess I’m an idiot for buying mine a year ago well in advance.

Do they give welfare to people to reward them for having generators and chainsaws to take of themselves before the storm or is the money only for those that waited to get such things till after the storm?

Follow-up question: Do they reimburse for items purchased but not yet received? I heard about the generator deal and went ahead with an online order of about $2k (PTO generator that I've had my eye on for years). It'll arrive sometime around year's end if we're lucky. My old man is still waiting on one he ordered back in April/May. Also, the chainsaws I've been looking at are all on back order, so that'll be something I get after the window for reimbursement closes.

I think you need to be more worried about your Homeowners insurance coverage than income level for these .

If it wasn't a complicated process, I would love to get a free chainsaw. I have no trees on my property, but would lave to have one right now to help a bunch of my elderly neighbors. I have a small electric one, but it sucks.

The Press Release :

LINK

quote:

Applicants who purchase or rent a generator and/or chainsaw between Aug. 26, 2021 and Sept. 25, 2021, may be eligible to receive financial assistance for reimbursement if:

The applicant meets the general eligibility requirements for FEMA’s Individuals and Households Program.

The home is the applicant’s primary residence and is located in a parish designated for the Individuals and Households Program. The parishes are: Ascension, Assumption, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberia, Iberville, Jefferson, Lafourche, Livingston, Orleans, Plaquemines, Pointe Coupee, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Martin, St. Mary, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Terrebonne, Washington, West Baton Rouge and West Feliciana parishes.

The generator was purchased or rented due to a disruption in electrical utility service caused by Hurricane Ida.

Proof-of-purchase or rental receipts for the items are submitted by the applicant.

Price Limits

FEMA may reimburse applicants up to $800 for generators and up to $250 for chainsaws.

Has anyone on here, or anyone you know personally, received the $800 reimbursement for a generator without proving a medical need?

I was turned down for my chainsaw request. Albeit I actually had to buy one to remove the large trees from the yard.
