SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C.
5121–5207 (the Act) is the legal basis for
FEMA to provide disaster related
assistance and services to individuals
who apply for disaster assistance
benefits in the event of a federally
declared disaster. The Individuals and
Households Program (IHP) (the Act at
5174, Federal Assistance to Individuals
and Households) provides financial
assistance to eligible individuals and
households who, as a direct result of a
major disaster or emergency have
necessary expenses and serious needs.

PO 00000

Frm 00061

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

62643

Individuals and households that apply
for this assistance must provide
information detailing their losses and
needs. In response to Super Storm
Sandy (October 2012), Congress added
‘‘child care’’ expenses as a category of
IHP assistance through the Sandy
Recovery Improvement Act of 2013
(SRIA), Public Law 113–2. Section 1108
of the SRIA amends section 408(e)(1) of
the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5174(e)(1)),
giving FEMA the specific authority to
pay for ‘‘child care’’ expenses as disaster
assistance under the Other Needs
Assistance (ONA) provision of IHP in
addition to funeral, medical and dental
expenses.
FEMA’s current registration
application and script for IHP disaster
assistance does not ask questions
regarding a survivor/registrant’s need
for assistance with ‘‘child care’’
expenses. Thus, FEMA needs to change
its application to include a question
about whether the survivor/registrant
needs financial assistance for child care
expenses as a result of a disaster. FEMA
also needs to collect necessary
paperwork from the survivor/registrant
to determine eligibility and verify the
expenses associated with child care
through correspondence with the
survivor/registrant.
