Funeral Assistance Information

Release Date: June 1, 2021

WASHINGTON -- In the short time since FEMA began accepting COVID-19 funeral
assistance applications, the agency has already disbursed more than $128 million to
nearly 19,000 applicants.

Applicants may apply by calling 844-684-6333 (TTY: 800-462-7585) from 9 a.m. to 9

p.m. ET, Monday through Friday. Multilingual services are available. Please note, phone
calls from FEMA may come from an unidentified number. Additional information about
the assistance and frequently asked questions are available on FEMA.gov.

“Applications” in the chart below, reflect the number of people who called to begin the
assistance process. Once someone has applied for assistance, they have six months to
return requested information to help process the claim. Once applicants have supplied
all documentation, a FEMA case worker reviews, and an eligibility determination is made
in less than 25 days.
