dsmith Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I don't know if this has been mentioned on here, but if your family has had the great misfortune of losing someone to Covid-19 and it is listed on the death certificate, you may be eligible for assistance. Based on the FAQ I believe my mother-in-law qualifies, so we will be calling today - hopefully we'll get through. This is going to be such a help for her financially. https://www.fema.gov/disasters/coronavirus/economic/funeral-assistance/faq 4 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The county next to mine is offering it, and in their case, I believe you contact the local United Way, but I think it's a government program.

Scarlett Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Bump. Good info here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmith Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Giving this a bump in case anyone could use this info. Dh is on the phone now with them, after trying for a few days. My mother-in-law had to get on the phone first and give permission for dh to speak for her - she could never figure this out on her own. I think we then upload or fax receipts. It's possible she may get up to $9000 back. If life insurance covered funeral costs, not burial insurance, you are still eligible for assistance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
