FEMA flood assistance application for Metro Detroiters closes this week -- What to know
DETROIT (FOX 2) - If you were impacted by flooding in late June, the deadline to apply for federal assistance is Friday.
Residents in Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, and Wayne counties are able to apply for FEMA assistance. As long as you meet the deadline to apply, you can appeal the decision after that date if you are not approved.
The grants are not taxable, so they will not impact federal assistance you may receive, such as Medicare.
