The bill would
- Increase the maximum amount that the Federal Emergency Management Authority (FEMA) can pay state governments for administering the other needs assistance program
- Expand assistance for mitigation projects for households that receive assistance to repair or replace damaged housing
- Authorize FEMA to directly repair damaged homes in some cases
- Authorize state and tribal governments to administer certain benefits under the Individuals and Households Program
- Require FEMA and the Government Accountability Office to study and report on federal disaster assistance programs
Estimated budgetary effects would mainly stem from
- Providing additional assistance to households and to state and tribal governments
- Requiring federal agencies to conduct studies, produce reports, and make grants
Areas of significant uncertainty include
- Anticipating the costs of federal assistance in response to disasters
- Anticipating how many households would qualify for new assistance under the bill and how much assistance they would receive
