SENATE PASSES PAUL, PETERS, & RUBIO BIPARTISAN BILL TO CREATE ONE DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR FEMA DISASTER ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR INDIVIDUALS

Date: July 31, 2023
Location: WASHINGTON, D.C.
Issues: National Security

"When natural disaster strikes, people already have enough stress and confusion to contend with, and it is imperative that the government does not exacerbate the situation by imposing complicated and confusing rules," said Ranking Member Paul. "In order to ensure a smoother and more efficient experience for those seeking aid, I supported the Disaster Assistance Deadlines Alignment Act which would simplify the federal disaster assistance process by aligning the deadlines for two programs."

"Survivors of natural disasters depend on the federal government for assistance to recover. By aligning the deadlines for in-demand disaster assistance programs, this bipartisan legislation will decrease confusion and make it simpler for families to access critical federal resources," said Chairman Peters.
