Unspent disaster assistance received under the Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act or other Federal statute because of a presidentially-declared major disaster was
excluded from resources for 9 months.
The exclusion could be extended for up to an additional 9 months if, for the first
9 months, circumstances beyond the individual's control:
-
•
prevented the repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed property; or
-
•
kept the individual from contracting for such repair or replacement.
