STAFFORD ACT-DECLARED EVENT
FEMA PA provided by Stafford Act-declared emergencies
requires the local governing authority to participate
through a cost share. Cost shares are typically either:
75 percent Federal share + 25 percent local match
OR
90 percent Federal share + 10 percent local match.
The 75 percent/25 percent cost share is based on
estimated costs for eligible work that qualifies for FEMA PA.
COST SHARE
For FY13, eligibility for a 90 percent cost share requires
the Federal share of the statewide obligated dollar
amounts of all programs authorized under the Stafford
Act to meet or exceed $593,871,732 – $131 per capita
(adjusted annually) based on 2010 Census data.
In rare occasions, assistance may be provided at 100
percent Federal share, requiring no local match.
FEMA IA has no cost share for housing assistance.
Other Needs Assistance (ONA) has a 75/25 percent
cost share. The ONA cost share is designated in the
Stafford Act and cannot be waived. The maximum
individual grant amount for ONA is currently $31,900,
adjusted annually. See the FEMA Individual Assistance
(IA) section later in this Manual to learn more about
FEMA IA.
