Longer appeal window for disaster aid

If enacted, you would have 90 days to file an appeal of a federal disaster assistance decision under the Stafford Act. That replaces the current 60-day filing window and gives applicants 30 more days to submit appeals. This would apply to individuals, households, and eligible small businesses who applied for Stafford Act aid. The bill text does not specify an effective date.
