Reimbursement for Covid Related Funeral Expenses The Federal Emergency Management Agency plans to begin accepting applications this month for financial assistance for funeral costs for people who died of COVID-19 after January 20, 2020. FEMA plans to accept applications starting April 12 through a dedicated call center (844-684-6333), and says that assistance for eligible individuals will be capped at a maximum of $9,000 per funeral and $35,500 per application. Secretary of State William Galvin's website links to a FEMA page with more information on eligibility and how to apply. "So many people have lost loved ones to this pandemic and coping with the loss of a family member is hard enough without needing to worry about the costs of laying that person to rest," Galvin said in a statement Wednesday. He said help may be available "even if the funeral has already been paid for."
