- Official death certificate that shows the death occurred in the United States, including the U.S. territories and District of Columbia.
- If the death certificate was issued between Jan. 20 and May 16, 2020, it must either 1) attribute the death directly or indirectly to COVID-19 or 2) be accompanied by a signed statement from the original certifier of the death certificate or the local medical examiner or coroner from the jurisdiction in which the death occurred listing COVID-19 as a cause or contributing cause of death. This signed statement must provide an additional explanation, or causal pathway, linking the cause of death listed on the death certificate to COVID-19.
- If the death certificate occurred on or after May 17, 2020, the death certificate must attribute the death directly or indirectly to COVID-19.
If you are eligible for funeral assistance you will receive funds by direct deposit or a check by mail, depending on which option you chose when you applied for assistance.
Our country has been devastated by the Covid 19 pandemic and our Government is trying to help.
So if you need this kind of help,
Here’s link to FEMA’s website.
And for everyone who lost someone to Covid 19, our sympathies are with you.
Our hope is this program can help lessen the impact a little for your family.
We never know when death will take us, and Covid has taken us all by surprise.
And while this program is helpful, it’s still no replacement for the loss of a family’s breadwinner.
Don’t wait any longer, make sure your loved ones are provided for in the case of your own passing.
We can help you with a life insurance program that not only covers your burial,
But also helps replace the lost income and ongoing expenses a family must deal with.
