If you have had a loved one pass away due to Covid-19, you may be eligible for help with burial and funeral expenses.
According to a statement from Congressman French Hill’s office, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has a program to provide assistance for Covid-19 related funeral costs for deaths occurring on or after January 20, 2020. The statement said that in Arkansas, over 2,000 applications have been approved so far, for a total over $4.5 million.
