PART 153_ASSISTANCE PROGRAM UNDER THE 9/11 HEROES STAMP ACT OF 2001

--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 153.7  Distribution of funds.



    (a) FEMA will not distribute funds until FEMA has made eligibility 

determinations on all applications under Sec. 153.5.

    (b) The amount of assistance granted under the Act is within FEMA's 

discretion. FEMA will distribute funds equally, to the extent feasible, 

among eligible claimants until the fund has been liquidated. FEMA will 

not differentiate in making the amount of the award, between those 

eligible claimants who were killed or those eligible claimants who were 

permanently physically disabled while serving in the line of duty in 

connection with the terrorist attacks against the United States on 

September 11, 2001.

    (c) FEMA will notify each individual it determines to be eligible 

for assistance under the Heroes Stamp Act of its intent to make a 

distribution, and of an estimated amount of the initial distribution. 

This notification will be made through the United States mail.

    (d) FEMA may make multiple distributions. Once all appeals have been 

settled, FEMA will further distribute to eligible claimants any monies 

that were set-aside for applicants who are determined not to be eligible 

claimants.
