FEMA DISASTER ASSISTANCE NOT APPROVED? DON’T GIVE UP!
A determination letter for FEMA assistance that doesn’t begin with “You’re approved” may simply mean that more information or documentation is required. Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-FEMA if you have questions. And you can always appeal if you believe FEMA got it wrong. See the news release for details.
