Bill > HR10130

This bill, the FEMA for America First Act of 2024, amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to provide that only "qualified aliens" are eligible for certain disaster assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The term "qualified alien" is defined by reference to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, and specifically excludes certain categories of aliens, such as those granted asylum or refugee status, or those paroled into the United States. The bill aims to limit FEMA disaster assistance to individuals who are lawful permanent residents or have other specific immigration status.
