Referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
Introduced February 27, 2025 by W. Greg Steube · Last progress 1 year ago
Limits FEMA disaster help for noncitizens to those who meet the “qualified alien” standard. Undocumented immigrants and many people on temporary visas would not be eligible for assistance under the disaster law.
It ties eligibility for noncitizens to federal immigration categories (such as lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees). FEMA and partners would need to check immigration status before providing individual disaster assistance, which could affect mixed‑status households in disaster areas.
