The bill H.R. 5067, also known as the "Rapid Disaster Relief Act," aims to amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to expedite the disbursement of reimbursements for emergency work following a disaster.
Specifically, the bill mandates that reimbursements under Section 403 of the Stafford Act be disbursed to the applicant within 120 days of submitting a request, provided that the President determines at least 90% of the estimated costs are eligible for reimbursement.
