"FEMA in 2024 obligated $15 billion for COVID relief, nearly 40% of the agency’s planned disaster relief spending. Some of the money was spent on providing families up to $35,000 to pay for funerals of loved ones who died from COVID-19. FEMA said it will “continue to provide funeral assistance” for those who died from COVID-19 until Sept. 30, 2025."

FEMA still spending heavily on COVID and decades-old storms
While the Federal Emergency Management Agency clamors for more money to deal with hurricanes and floods, it is spending a significant portion of its disaster relief fund to help communities and individuals deal with COVID-19 as well as natural disasters that occurred years and even decades ago.
