Disaster Related Cash Grants

Programs that provide cash grants to businesses, individuals and families who have been affected by a major disaster or large-scale emergency including a public health crisis like a pandemic that disrupts the normal functioning of a community. Monies can generally be used to pay for temporary housing, housing repair or replacement, permanent housing construction, moving and storage, personal property replacement, medical and dental services, funeral and burial services, transportation assistance and other expenses not covered by insurance or other programs. Included are the FEMA Individuals and Households Program (a program jointly funded by the federal government and the state and administered by the state), stimulus packages approved by Congress and signed by the President, state supplemental programs, and disaster related cash grant programs offered by local government and private sector organizations. Also included are tax rebate credit programs, also known as economic impact credits, for those who were eligible for such cash grants but who did not receive one or the full amount, which can be claimed on a 2020 Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR, as well as the web tool launched by the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service that allows quick registration for payments for people who don't normally file a tax return.
