Yesterday, I heard for the first time that there is a very generous Federal funeral assistance available up to $9,000 max for an individual and up to $35,000 for a household. I first thought this was a myth or fake news.
I have blogged here before that I have a strong suspicion that the deaths statistics in the U.S. and in other Western countries are severely inflated (see e.g. here)!
As usual, these federal government subsidies are probably too generous and freely handed out to anyone who applies, no questions asked.
I have not found any data on how many applications were filed.
"You may qualify if: You are a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or qualified alien who incurred funeral expenses on or after Jan. 20, 2020, and
The funeral expenses were for an individual whose death in the United States, including the U.S. territories or the District of Columbia, may have been caused by, or was likely the result of, COVID-19."
"... COVID-19 Funeral Assistance is limited to a maximum of $9,000 per deceased individual and $35,500 per application, per state, U.S. territory, or the District of Columbia, in cases where the applicant incurred funeral expenses for multiple deceased individuals."
