COVID-19 Cost Share Extension

Specifically, this extension allows FEMA to pay 100% federal funding for the costs of activities that have previously been determined eligible from the beginning of the pandemic. Those costs may include the safe opening and operating of eligible facilities, including schools, and to continue COVID-19 related medical care, vaccination and testing efforts.

 

FEMA will also continue to provide 100% of the federal funding for National Guard activities to combat and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. National Guard activities under Title 32 remain under the command and control of their respective governors but is funded by the Department of Defense (DoD). FEMA has mission assigned DoD to fund Title 32 National Guard deployments to support state and territorial efforts in response to the pandemic.
