Let's analyze this one. Comrade has decided there is just enough leftover money after they gave $200 billion to the Ukraine, and God knows how much money to their migrant buddies (illegal aliens), that $750 can be given to Helene victims.
What does $750 buy you these days?
Well, it's not even a mortgage payment for most people. And it's certainly not a rent payment either.
$750 might cover family groceries for a month. Perhaps 2 months if you buy really cheap and smart.
$750 gets you maybe a week in a hotel while the flood waters recede.
$750 might get you a month of daycare.
$750 might get you some replacement furniture and clothing. Some.
What are these people supposed to live on until the big insurance companies come through with a payment (If they even do -- if they can't weasel out of it somehow).
Do you think it might make more sense if Congress passes a law that mortgage/rent and car payments are suspended for 6 months?
Completely unacceptable.
you are so Misinformed.
The $750 is a new serious needs fund created this year, a catastrophic hurricane fund for immediate needs, food, water, clothes, necessities by FEMA....
FEMA) does provide people with $750 to be used for food and essentials. However, disaster victims can also apply for and receive multiple other forms of assistance.
“One type of assistance that is often approved quickly after you apply is
Serious Needs Assistance, which is $750 to help pay for essential items like food, water, baby formula, breastfeeding supplies, medication and other emergency supplies,” FEMA says on its
rumor response webpage. “There are other forms of assistance that you may qualify to receive once you apply for disaster assistance. As your application continues to be reviewed, you may still receive additional forms of assistance for other needs such as
support for temporary housing and home repair costs.”
Serious Needs Assistance was one of two new disaster relief programs FEMA began offering this year after it
added new benefits and made it easier for disaster survivors to apply for help.
The other new program is Displacement Assistance, which pays for a victim’s hotel or motel stay while they work on their long-term housing plan.
FEMA offers many other programs for disaster relief beyond just these two programs,
some of which include Home Repair/Replacement Assistance, Rental Assistance, Personal Property Assistance to repair or replace things like appliances and computers, Medical and Dental Assistance to cover the costs of disaster-related injuries, Funeral Assistance and Child Care Assistance.
People can apply for disaster relief through
DisasterAssistance.gov, the
FEMA app, a disaster recovery center
location or by calling the FEMA helpline at 1-800-621-3362.
