SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act (Pub. L. 93-288) (the Stafford Act), as 
amended, is the legal basis for the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) to provide financial assistance and services to individuals who 
apply for disaster assistance benefits in the event of a federally 
declared disaster. Regulations in title 44 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR), Subpart D, ``Federal Assistance to Individuals and 
Households,'' implement the policy and procedures set forth in section 
408 of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5174, as amended. This program 
provides financial assistance and, if necessary, direct assistance to 
eligible individuals and households who, as a direct result of a major 
disaster or emergency, have uninsured or under-insured, damage, 
necessary expenses, and serious needs which are not covered through 
other means.

[[Page 24731]]

    Individuals and households may apply for assistance under the 
Individuals and Households program in person, via telephone or 
internet. FEMA utilizes paper forms 009-0-1 (English) Disaster 
Assistance Registration or FEMA Form 009-0-2 (Spanish), Solicitud/
Registro Para Asistencia De Resastre to register individuals.
    FEMA provides direct assistance to eligible applicants pursuant to 
the requirements in 44 CFR 206.117. To receive direct assistance for 
temporary housing (e.g., mobile home or other manufactured housing 
unit) from FEMA, the applicant is required to acknowledge and accept 
the conditions for occupying government property. The applicant is also 
required to acknowledge that he or she has been informed of the 
conditions for continued direct housing assistance. To accomplish these 
acknowledgments and notifications, FEMA uses the applicant's household 
composition data in National Emergency Management Information System to 
prepare a Manufactured Housing Unit Revocable License and Receipt for 
Government Property FEMA Form 009-0-5, or Las Casas Manufacturadas 
Unidad Licencia Revocable y Recibo de la Propiedad del Gobierno FEMA 
Form 009-0-6.
    Federal public benefits are provided to U.S. citizens, non-citizen 
nationals, or qualified aliens. A parent or guardian of a minor child 
may be eligible for disaster assistance if, the minor child is a US 
citizen, Non-citizen national or qualified alien and the minor child 
lives with the parent or guardian. (See 8 U.S.C. 1601-1646).
    By signing FEMA Forms 009-0-3, Declaration and Release or 009-0-4, 
Declaraci[oacute]n Y Autorizaci[oacute]n an applicant or a member of 
the applicant's household is attesting to being a US citizen, non-
citizen national or qualified alien. A parent or guardian of a minor 
child signing FEMA Forms 009-0-3, Declaration and Release or 009-0-4, 
Declaraci[oacute]n Y Autorizaci[oacute]n is attesting that the minor 
child is a US citizen, non-citizen national or qualified alien.
