All,

 

Please see further clarification on the FEMA declared weather related emergency or other major disaster SEP.  Note that the COVID-19 application ended on June 30, 2020.  A big shout out to ACL for obtaining clarity on this SEP.

Good morning.

 

Apologies for the confusion regarding current applicability of FEMA-declared disaster SEP with COVID-19. The COVID application ended 4 months from the beginning of the disaster automatically on June 30, 2020.
