FEMA Covid Funeral Relief

I think it’s time to change the qualification requirements for FEMA Covid Funeral Relief.

FEMA has been paying for funerals up to $35,500 for any Covid death since early in the pandemic. https://www.fema.gov/disaster/coronavirus/economic/funeral-assistance/faq

I say Congress needs to change the payment criteria. Effective October 1, we should require proof of full vaccination at least two weeks prior to Covid diagnosis and death.

If they’ve had the shot(s), and somehoo on w then die of Covid- then fine, FEMA will pay as currently. Up to $35.5k.

But if they are unvaccinated, they should get nothing. Or maybe a $1,000 unvaccinated consulation prize for dying unvaxxed.
