My FEMA Application “Your Next Steps”

If your account status has not changed or is "Pending", double-check Your Next Steps to ensure you haven't missed anything. An "Under Review" status on your account can mean several different things. You may also call 800-621-3362 and ask if you need to submit any other documentation.

Pending Inspection:

• Your home hasn't been inspected yet. Answer the inspector's call to schedule.

  Case is waiting to be Reviewed:

• Your documentation has been received and is waiting to be reviewed. Once reviewed your status will be updated.

  Additional Documentation is Needed:

• You need to send additional information to help FEMA understand your situation.
  • If additional documentation is needed, you will receive a prompt detailing the specific documents required for verification, which can be easily uploaded.
  • Any additional documentation will prompt another review, moving your case forward.

If you are approved for FEMA assistance, the tracker will show the amount and what it can be used for.

If you disagree with FEMA's decision, you can appeal the decision. Appeal instructions and forms are included in the documentation FEMA sent to you. Read it carefully to see what it is you need to do. You can use the Upload Center in the Status Tracker to submit additional documents like repair estimates, repair bills or lodging receipts. Then we will take another look at your case.

If you need more help understanding your application status, you can:
