The article states not many people know about the program followed by the quote from Ed Michael Reggie: \u201cMaybe some of it is that people think it\u2019s a lot of red tape and maybe that they won\u2019t be able to qualify, but everything we\u2019re seeing is that people are absolutely qualifying,\u201d Reggie said. \u201cFEMA is being very quick. About three to four weeks and these families are getting a check.\u201d The piece then showcases Ed Michael Reggie\u2019s passion for helping those in need, his sympathy for those who lost loved ones in such astronomical numbers and so unexpectedly and his deep understanding of the financial blow COVID caused everyone: \u201cThese overwhelmingly were unexpected deaths,\u201d Reggie said. \u201cWe know that the American savings rate is not great, that people were already financially hit by COVID. This is very important that they get this money \u2013 so many of them need it.\u201d Lastly, the article ends with a blurb about Ed Michael Reggie warning consumers against possible scammers and the safest program to use: &nbsp;\u2018Reggie warned that people should be aware of scammers trying to get Social Security numbers by posing as funeral home workers or FEMA employees. He said that those applying for reimbursement should go through FEMA only using the number listed on their website.\u2019SHARE:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/wordpress-148638-614849.cloudwaysapps.com\/blog\/media-center\/louisiana-families-eligible-for-up-to-9k-in-covid-funeral-expense-compensation-from-fema\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=https:\/\/wordpress-148638-614849.cloudwaysapps.com\/blog\/media-center\/louisiana-families-eligible-for-up-to-9k-in-covid-funeral-expense-compensation-from-fema\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https:\/\/wordpress-148638-614849.cloudwaysapps.com\/blog\/media-center\/louisiana-families-eligible-for-up-to-9k-in-covid-funeral-expense-compensation-from-fema\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-148638-614849.cloudwaysapps.com\/blog\/media-center\"><\/a>\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/funeralocity.com\/cremationclub\" class=\"single-content-banner__image\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_desktop.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tablet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_tablet.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mobile\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_mobile.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                <\/a>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4050","press","type-press","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"section_type":"in_the_news","news_content_type":"inner_post","news_image":"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Weekly-Citizen-2-1.png","full_width_image":false,"show_on_page":[],"location":{"state":"Louisiana","city":"Lafayette"},"popularity":"0"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.7 (Yoast SEO v17.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Louisiana Families Eligible for Up to $9k in COVID Funeral Expense Compensation from FEMA - Knowledge Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/media-center\/louisiana-families-eligible-for-up-to-9k-in-covid-funeral-expense-compensation-from-fema\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Louisiana Families Eligible for Up to $9k in COVID Funeral Expense Compensation from FEMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Lafayette, Louisiana, June 30, 2022 &#8211; &nbsp;WEEKLY CITIZEN&nbsp; See funeral home prices in your area Search Use zip code for more precise search results A Louisiana- specific article breaking down for readers what the program is, how it works and why it\u2019s beneficial, using many quotes from Ed Michael Reggie to highlight the importance.
