H.R. 8409, the Post-Disaster Protection Act, advanced out of committee on September 15, 2026.

H.R. 8409 — Post-Disaster Protection Act

Homeland Security

What it does

This bill amends the Stafford Act to give disaster victims 90 days instead of 60 days to appeal denials of federal disaster assistance. It creates parity between the time applicants have to file an appeal and the time FEMA has to decide it, ensuring both sides operate on the same timeline.

Quorum's transparency scan found no buried provisions in Post-Disaster Protection Act.
