WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following calls from U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan, a member of the Homeland Security Committee that oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Biden administration announced that schools in New Hampshire and across the country will receive a full reimbursement for emergency COVID-19-related expenses dating back to January 2020, including for personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies.
The American Rescue Plan, which is now law, included $50 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund administered by FEMA to reimburse states and localities for COVID-19 related emergency expenses such as personal protective equipment. This funding is on top of the $45 billion that was allocated to the Fund through the CARES Act passed last year.
