              TITLE 44--EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND ASSISTANCE
 
 CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 
                                SECURITY
 
PART 153_ASSISTANCE PROGRAM UNDER THE 9/11 HEROES STAMP ACT OF 2001--Table of 
 
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.
