The Disaster Aid Without Delay Act of 2026 prevents the Secretary of Homeland Security from creating dollar-amount rules that delay or block disaster relief payments through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The bill prohibits policies that would require additional approval or conditions based on fixed dollar thresholds before disaster funds can be distributed to affected communities. The legislation applies to assistance provided under the federal Stafford Act, which governs how the government responds to major disasters and emergencies. By eliminating arbitrary monetary barriers, the bill aims to ensure that disaster relief reaches people and communities more quickly without bureaucratic delays. No specific funding appropriations or implementation timelines are included in the bill text.
