So what if I just buy one right now? Still good? One big or two parallel better option? I'm thinking two parallel.
I think if you go and buy one right now you need to be prepared to pay for it out of your own money. There just is no telling what they'll approve or not approve.

I got a 11,000 watt. I can see FEMA be like well he bought 2 generators and hooked em up parallel but we are only going to reimburse for 1.
I’ll use mine to run my house may thru November for summer weather then let my parents use it December thru April to run their house for winter weather
I have a portable inverter generator already but I’ve been wanting a bigger one and was looking so if I get reimbursed that’s great and if I don’t then I was already looking at them anyway. $900 for a generator that can run my house isn’t to bad and it weighs enough that it won’t be a snatch and grab

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 guess I’m an idiot for buying mine a year ago well in advance.
RITE! No income limit, but since I was prepared and had a generator already I dont qualify, still dont have power btw. What a joke

About $350
True story. My wife once told me that she wanted to move to Australia because she could make $350 a pop for sex. I told her I was moving there with her. She asked why, and I said, "Because I want to see how you'll live on $700 a year."

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

If you bought out of state and muled it in, does it count?

Yeah, as long as you receive the item before 9/25 I believe is the cutoff date.

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.

But what about income level. If you were denied the housing, can you still get this reimbursement?
Posted on 9/9/21 at 2:22 pm to Grandpa
What if my generator is $1100.
Will fema cover up to the allowable limit?

Go get you a second generator or second chainsaw, sell it next year before a hurricane. Make you some money for being prepared.
