Bill overview
This bill, the Don’t Penalize Victims Act, changes how federal disaster assistance programs handle receiving funds from other sources. Currently, recipients of federal disaster aid are restricted from receiving similar funds from other sources, like insurance or charitable donations. The bill removes this restriction, allowing victims to accept assistance from multiple sources without reducing their federal disaster relief payments, as long as the funds are not coming from another federal program.
