What it does
The Disaster Aid Without Delay Act of 2026 would prohibit the Secretary of Homeland Security from implementing any policy that uses an arbitrary monetary threshold to delay or condition the obligation or disbursement of FEMA disaster relief funds under the Stafford Act. It defines a "monetary threshold" as any fixed dollar amount that requires additional approval or creates delays in funding for major disasters or emergencies. The bill aims to ensure faster access to federal disaster aid by removing financial barriers that could slow relief efforts. It applies to all disaster assistance provided through FEMA and affects how the Department of Homeland Security manages emergency funding.
