🗣️A reminder that the Biden Administration launched a massive COVID-19 Funeral Assistance program, that provides up to $9,000 to cover the burial costs of each American who died of covid-19 — the largest program of its type ever offered by the federal government.
FEMA has provided over $1.044 billion to nearly 159,000 people to assist with COVID-19-related funeral costs for deaths occurring on or after Jan. 20, 2020. fema.gov/press-release/…

I would be remiss if I did not mention scammers. If losing a loved one to COVID-19 wasn't tough enough, now while grieving you have to watch out for scammers going after the funeral expenses the government will reimburse you for. abc11.com/covid-19-scam-…
