FEMA Reimbursement and Appeals Support
In times of disaster, the cost of recovery often exceeds a community’s financial reserves. At BDR, we are committed to ensuring that our clients receive maximum reimbursement for eligible work from state and federal agencies such as FEMA. Our expertise in obtaining up-front funding greatly reduces the need for clients to drain general fund reserves or draw on credit lines.
Our FEMA Reimbursement and Appeals Support services include:
|
Compliance Monitoring. The BDR methodology for disaster readiness planning is designed to meet the exacting requirements of FEMA and other funding agencies. Our FEMA specialists work closely with clients to ensure all standards are met in the scope of planning, response and recovery. |
|
Immediate Needs Funding Support. This process involves developing a debris quantity estimate that is supported by FEMA, preparing a Project Worksheet to cover the estimated cost of the entire debris removal effort, and assisting the client and FEMA Public Assistance Officers with worksheet amendments as the actual debris estimates become finalized. |
|
Appeals Support. Based on our vast knowledge of FEMA reimbursement policies, BDR consultants routinely assist jurisdictions and organizations in preparing appeals when disputes occur. Our legal staff and FEMA specialists have successfully recovered millions of dollars of previously de-obligated funds on behalf of numerous clients. |
|
Funding/Regulatory Assistance. BDR boasts former senior-level FEMA professionals as part of our staff. They can provide support in responding to issues that may slow funding as well as assistance in tracking client Project Worksheets throughout the process. |
Our robust team of accountants, economists and FEMA specialists work in conjunction with organizations to manage and document the recovery process in a way that ensures maximum reimbursement. BDR’s proficiency in this area assures a faster recovery as well as an economically healthy future for our clients.
"Currently we are in the process of developing submittals for FEMA reimbursement. BDR has compiled, reviewed, and validated over thirty-seven thousand load tickets for debris collection. Beck staff has been instrumental in all of our meetings with FEMA and has provided supporting data and back up information when funding eligibility issues required additional explanation."
