Da GUBMENT is so generous, aren't they? If you're gonna die, it really pays to have that word "COVID-19" written on your death certificate.
I'm sure the program is on the up and up and no fraud is going on like in their other COVID programs..
Maybe they're feeling guilty and trying to atone for what their highest-paid KILLER FAUCI did??
Many Families Don't Use Federal Benefit for COVID-Related FuneralBy Brian Freeman | Sunday, 26 December 2021
Quote:Many families who are eligible have not taken advantage of a federal program that reimburses families up to $9,000 of funeral costs for loved ones who died of COVID-19, NPR reported on Sunday.
About 226,000 people had shared, as of Dec. 6, in the almost $1.5 billion that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has spent on funeral costs for those who died after Jan. 20, 2020, the date of the first confirmed case of coronavirus in the U.S.
Since there have been more than 800,000 deaths in the U.S. from coronavirus, it is clear that many have not requested the funeral benefit, which is funded using federal stimulus money.
For families to be eligible for the benefit, the death certificates of those who died after May 16, 2020, must show that the death was due to COVID-19.
For deaths that occurred before that date, the death certificates must include a signed statement from a medical examiner, coroner or the certifying official listed on the certificate indicating that COVID-19 was at least a contributing cause of death, according to NPR.
