FEMA still only 95% finished settling the government's pandemic bills
FEMA said it has finalized 95% of its COVID-19 Public Assistance projects more than three years after the agency’s pandemic disaster period ended.
The agency said it recovered more than $2 billion last year and expects to recover another $1 billion this year, without providing details about those figures.
FEMA said the Los Angeles Opera was “fully eligible” for about $2 million to reimburse qualifying COVID-19 expenses incurred before May 11, 2023.
Senators John Fetterman and Adam Schiff criticized FEMA’s delays, while FEMA attributed them partly to funding lapses.
