Congressional Summary of S 1858

Disaster Assistance Deadlines Alignment Act

This bill modifies the deadline for applying for disaster unemployment assistance.

Specifically, the bill matches the deadline for an individual seeking unemployment assistance for a major disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to the application deadline for individuals and households seeking other assistance under that act.

The bill authorizes an extension of that deadline if the individual (1) has good cause for the late submission, and (2) submits the application during the period when disaster assistance is being provided.
