This bill amends federal disaster relief law to give people more time to appeal decisions about emergency assistance they receive after disasters. Currently, individuals and businesses have 60 days to submit appeals if they believe they were wrongly denied aid or received incorrect amounts under the Stafford Act, the main federal law governing disaster assistance. The bill extends this deadline to 90 days, giving disaster victims an additional month to gather documentation and file their appeals. The change affects anyone seeking to challenge federal disaster assistance decisions, including homeowners, renters, business owners, and local governments. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are mentioned in the legislation.
