**NOTE: If you are attempting to fax an application, please keep trying – our fax machine is very busy with applications coming through, so it may take several attempts to connect.  We are able to fulfill approximately 100 requests per day and are receiving in excess of 200 new applications daily. Due to this high volume of Disaster Applications received, it is currently taking us an average of 3-4 days to get to each application. We appreciate your patience and are working hard to help you as quickly as possible.**

Federal employees experiencing major losses due to a declared natural disaster may apply for a grant from the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund by filling out a disaster relief application. Grant limits are set on a case-by-case or per disaster basis.

Employees should complete the entire application including the "Applicant Loan Agreement" even if only requesting a grant on the initial application. This allows the loan process to go more quickly if a loan is requested later. Loans are repaid by payroll allotment at a set dollar amount per pay period (view loan repayment chart here> ). A grant recipient who is also applying for a loan must meet the regular eligibility requirements explained in the loan application.

An employee may have lost his home and/or been forced to make temporary living arrangements. In this case, a current mailing address where a check can be sent should be given.
