Summary
The bill appropriates, from amounts in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 2026 to pay standard wages, allowances, benefits, and other regular payments to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees who carry out disaster relief under the Stafford Act or administer non-Stafford federal grants, and to support other activities needed to administer FEMA grant programs. The funding would apply during any lapse in FY2026 appropriations beginning February 14, 2026, and expenditures would be charged to future appropriations once enacted. The authority would end upon enactment of a relevant appropriation or continuing resolution, or on September 30, 2026, and the Act would take effect retroactively as if enacted February 13, 2026. The bill also states that it does not prohibit FEMA from awarding or disbursing grant funding.
