Disaster Aid: Insurance Won't Block Housing Assistance

New rules aim to simplify access to housing assistance after disasters, such as hotel stays or lodging with family. The act clarifies that having insurance will no longer prevent individuals from receiving this type of support, aiming to avoid duplication of benefits. This means affected individuals can get essential shelter more quickly, regardless of their insurance policy.
Key points
Disaster victims can receive housing assistance (e.g., hotel, staying with family) even if they have insurance.
