This bill amends the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 to extend and modify a waiver that helps disaster survivors avoid being penalized for receiving certain overlapping federal benefits. It expands the time period covered by the waiver, changing it from a fixed end date of December 31, 2021, to an open-ended period that lasts until the underlying provision is officially repealed. The bill also extends how long the waiver stays in effect, changing the sunset period from 5 to 10 years, giving disaster victims more time to benefit from the protection. Additionally, it prohibits federal agencies from applying any income threshold to determine eligibility for this waiver, ensuring that disaster survivors cannot be excluded based on their income level. This legislation primarily affects individuals who received federal disaster assistance, such as Hurricane victims, and aims to prevent them from having their aid clawed back or reduced due to duplicate benefit rules.
