FEMA Says It Will Stop Paying For Cloth Face Masks For Schools
Source: NPR
The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it is changing the policy on the personal protective equipment that it will pay for. Federal officials announced the changes during a call Tuesday with state and tribal emergency managers, many of whom expressed concerns about the new policy.
The changes mean that in most cases, FEMA will no longer reimburse states for the cost of cloth face coverings at nonemergency settings, including schools, public housing and courthouses. The policy goes into effect on Sept. 15.
On the call, Keith Turi, FEMA assistant administrator for recovery, explained that as of that date, personal protective equipment for nonemergency settings will be classified as "increased operating costs" for public services, and thus will not be covered by the agency's Public Assistance Program.
