Lets communities get federal money back for disaster recovery wages for longer.

This bill would give communities more time to get federal money back for workers hired after a major disaster. This includes wages for people who check damage and those who help enforce building codes. It aims to make disaster rebuilding easier for affected areas.

What Would Change

Today, there are specific, shorter time limits for when wages for disaster recovery workers can be reimbursed by the federal government. If this bill becomes law, these time limits would be extended. Wages for damage assessment workers would be eligible for up to 180 days. Wages for building code workers would be eligible for up to 2 years, with local leaders choosing the start date.

Key Provisions

Extends the time communities can get federal reimbursement for wages of workers who help enforce building codes to up to 2 years.
