2021-04-14 |
[Washington Examiner] The Federal Emergency Management Agency will provide families with up to $9,000 to cover part of the costs to hold funerals for families whose loved ones died of COVID-19. The agency tasked with natural disaster response began accepting applications for financial assistance from families on Monday. If selected to receive the funds, families will have to provide a record of funeral expenses and the deceased person’s death certificate that confirms they died of COVID-19. The maximum amount that a family can be reimbursed for a single funeral is $9,000. |

#4 "I've died twice now. In addition to that smooth $18k, I also now get three mail-in ballots which, as you know, each get me a $1k pre-paid credit card when the ward heeler comes by and certifies." |

#3 Why? Why not pay for funerals for everyone? It would be more logical. Though not as logical as paying for no one - it's a discretionary expense, at least for the most part. |
