This was from our local paper here in N. E.
Ohio.
Tim Ryan said FEMA will now implement the funeral assistance program nationwide. Ryan helped secure this 2 Billion in funding for FEMA disaster relief fund through Covid-19 relief bill and fisical year 2021 spending package that was signed into law December 2020.
The last thing American families need when struggling with the loss of a loved one from Covid-19 is the burden of additional bills for the funeral.

The loss of life, cost of funeral expenses has taken its toll on many Americans. According to FEMA up $9,000 may be reimbursed. [Note: Thank you for post--this is valuable info that can possibly provide some needed assistance. ]

(6,911 posts)After decades of Republican governance we are shocked that the wealth of the country is being spent on poor people instead of granting tax cuts to the wealthy.
This is how it should be, get used to it. Its how America was made great in the first placehumility and sharing. Those are real strengths, not loudmouth Republican threats and bragging.
