The Federal Emergency Management Agency is offering families assistance in paying funeral expenses following a person’s COVID-19-related death.
To be eligible for up to $9,000 per funeral, the death must have occurred in the United States, the District of Columbia or a U.S. territory, and the death certificate must attribute the death to COVID-19.
The applicant must be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national or qualified alien who incurred funeral expenses after Jan. 20, 2020. There is no requirement for the deceased person to have been a U.S. citizen.
