SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 408 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (the Stafford Act), 42
U.S.C. 5174, prescribes that FEMA must annually adjust the maximum
amount for assistance provided under the Individuals and Households
Program (IHP). FEMA gives notice that the maximum amount of IHP
financial assistance provided to an individual or household under
section 408 of the Stafford Act with respect to any single emergency or
major disaster is $41,000 for housing assistance and $41,000 for other
needs assistance. The increase in award amount is for any single
emergency or major disaster declared on or after October 1, 2022. In
addition, in accordance with 44 CFR 61.17(c), this increases the
maximum amount of available coverage under any Group Flood Insurance
Policy (GFIP) issued.
FEMA bases the adjustment on an increase in the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers of 8.3 percent for the 12-month period,
which ended in August 2022. The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S.
Department of Labor released the information on September 13, 2022.
