After hundreds of Eastern Kentucky residents suffered the loss of their homes and belongings as a result of the July 26 flooding, the Small Business Administration and FEMA stepped in to help. OK, so SBA and FEMA works hand-in-hand to each other, so when people get, they get referred from FEMA to us. So just in case they didn't get approved by FEMA or whatever, they can refer them to SBA. So we work hand-in-hand together. The SBA is offering businesses up to $2 million for losses and property damages and offering homeowners and renters up to $200,000 for belonging replacement and home repairs. One good thing about this program is that even if they're being referred from FEMA to us and they're not able to get approval from us, they can always go back to FEMA because our mission is actually to get everybody approved for these disasters. While FEMA may contact you to do damage assessment, they will never ask for Social Security numbers, payment, or for your personal information. If your FEMA claim is denied or partially paid, you may still be eligible for additional assistance. A lot of people have experienced the denials and we've heard a lot of talk about it. What people are really getting is oftentimes smaller amounts of money to locate a contractor to assist them get an estimate for their property damage. So the term denial is a little misleading. Really what it means is perhaps we need more information, your claim isn't complete, et cetera. So it's a routine process that we go through with people. We want to encourage people don't think a denial means never what we want you to do is appeal. And appeal is part of the normal process of applying for FEMA assistance. FEMA is also offering free mental health counseling for those who may be struggling. FEMA also provides mental health counseling for people who are dealing with the stress of this disaster and sometimes you don't realize it, how much stress is affecting your life. But you'll see with something like this, it happens. So you've got to find a way to deal with it. We have an 800 number you can call. You can call this number to get immediate counseling, 800-985-5990. For additional assistance in filing a claim or appealing a claim, visit a disaster recovery center in your county.
