FEMA approves multimillion federal-funds reimbursement

On December 12, 2018, El Nuevo Día reported that FEMA approved the disbursement of $152,524,198.11 in federal funds to reimburse government agencies and municipalities under the Public Assistance Program.

According to the accessible dek, the disbursement would impact PREPA, Education and three municipalities. The announcement was made by Omar Marrero Díaz, then COR3 executive director.

This desk does not invent the per-recipient breakdown or partial amounts: the rest of the body sits behind a paywall.

Approving a disbursement/reimbursement is not permanent work completed. Obligated is not the same as this one-time payment.
