FEMA for America First Act of 2024
The FEMA for America First Act of 2024 would restrict federal disaster relief assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief Act to only "qualified aliens" as defined by immigration law. It specifically excludes asylees who haven't applied for permanent residency, refugees who haven't applied for permanent residency, and individuals admitted on parole without seeking permanent residency. This change affects non-citizens in these categories, making them ineligible for disaster aid, while U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents remain eligible under the existing definition. The bill does not alter eligibility for citizens or permanent residents but narrows access for certain non-citizens.
