VA FEMA Assistance - ABD Income Exclusion - Medicaid

FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Programs

 

Logo of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).Through a national board chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and local boards, funds are provided to private nonprofit organizations and State and local governmental entities for the purpose of providing emergency food and shelter to needy individuals. The entity receiving these funds decides how they will be best used (e.g., to buy beds and blankets, to stock a soup kitchen or to pay an individual's rent). The Federal funds are not provided to meet ongoing basic needs.

Assistance involving FEMA funds is subject to the general rules pertaining to income and income exclusions for Medicaid. It is neither IBON nor ABON.

NOTE: Assistance involving FEMA funds is most often provided in kind by private nonprofit organizations and with State certification will qualify for exclusion as Support & Maintenance.

See Disaster Assistance for information about funds for Support & Maintenance and home repair during a disaster declared by the U.S. President.
