Understanding A FEMA Letter

  • Georgia residents who applied for assistance from FEMA for the recent severe storms and tornadoes will receive a determination letter from FEMA.
  • The letter may say the applicant is ineligible for assistance, but that is not a denial of the claim.
  • Applicants are given a reason for the ineligibility and told what they need to do to appeal the decision.
  • Often, they only need to send more information to FEMA.
  • The applicant should visit the Spalding Disaster Recovery Center to learn more about the letter they receive from FEMA.
