Disaster victims could get more aid by waiving rules against receiving multiple types of help.
This bill would make it easier for people and businesses hit by major disasters in 2023 or 2024 to get federal aid. It would let the President waive rules that currently stop people from receiving multiple types of assistance. This means disaster victims could get more help, including loans, without income limits.
Today, federal law generally prevents people and businesses from getting more than one type of federal disaster aid for the same loss, and loans can be counted as duplicate aid. Income thresholds can also limit who qualifies for certain assistance. After this bill, the President would be able to waive these "no duplicate benefits" rules for 2023 and 2024 disasters. Loans would not be considered duplicate aid, and there would be no income limits for qualifying for these waivers.
