HR 5067 United States House · 119th Congress

Rapid Disaster Relief Act

This bill requires federal reimbursements for disaster-related emergency work to be paid within 120 days of a request, provided the President certifies at least 90% of costs are eligible under the Stafford Act. It directly affects state, local, and tribal governments applying for disaster relief funds. The key change is a strict timeline for payments, streamlining the reimbursement process without altering eligibility criteria for disaster assistance.
