The Post-Disaster Protection Act seeks to amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, focusing on the process for appealing assistance decisions. The bill's core purpose is to establish parity for submission and decision timelines related to these appeals, ensuring a more consistent and potentially longer period for claimants. Specifically, the legislation modifies Section 423(a) of the Stafford Act by extending the appeal period from 60 days to 90 days . This change provides individuals and entities affected by disasters with an additional 30 days to submit their appeals for disaster relief and emergency assistance decisions.
