Disaster Aid Application Deadlines Extended and Communication Improved.
This law mandates a 60-day extension for applying for federal disaster financial assistance following major disasters. It also allows citizens and small businesses to submit late applications if they can demonstrate a valid reason for the delay. Federal agencies must increase efforts to communicate these new deadlines to the public and local congressional offices.
