Few eligible families have sought federal payment of COVID funeral expenses - Alaska Public Media

In April of 2021, FEMA offered to reimburse funeral expenses — up to $9,000, which is roughly the average cost of a funeral. And it was retroactive.

Once Leaver talked to a representative, she started assembling the death certificates and receipts from the funeral home and cemetery. She uploaded them online — and heard nothing for months.

“Some people with death certificates didn’t necessarily have COVID listed as the cause of death,” she says. “We do have a responsibility to our taxpayer stewards to make sure that that is, in fact, the cause.” It’s generally not a question of eligibility. There are no income limits, and life insurance does not preclude participation. And there is still no deadline. One of the few disqualifiers is if a funeral was pre-paid.
