disaster relief funds are not tied to any of this.
completely different pools of money, and Republicans have tried to defund fema multiple times.

They have $8.3 billion sitting around for disasters that happened prior to 2012. At least on paper they do.

yeah. money they're not allowed to use because it's marked for other disasters people can still make claims on lmao.
this entire article is trying to make something out of nothing because they're desperate for political attacks, this is how fema has always worked.

They have 4.5 billion on hold for hurricane Sandy, if you had read the article (you didn't), you would see that every time the deadline comes up for that disaster they have to justify why that money is needed. What kind of claims do you think people will make now that could justify holding such a large sum of money?

Because people will file claims fricking years out lmao. This is how fema has always worked.
The article tries to hide this fact.
Literally nothing has changed here, for the entire history of fema this has been the case.
The only change is republicans repeatedly trying to defund fema.
Now they have egg on their face and are trying to flip the blame because they know how bad it looks that they voted to defund something theyre now complaining about lacking funds.

Sorry, I've been putting off making my claims. Hurricane Sandy blew a ton of leaves in my yard so I needed to buy a second rake. Where can I get my money?
