The phone lines are now open as FEMA begins accepting applications for COVID-19 funeral and cemetery cost claims, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Queens/Bronx Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced Monday.
During a press conference just outside of the 7 train station on 103rd Street Corona Plaza, Schumer and Ocasio-Cortez urged New Yorkers who lost loved ones during the pandemic to call for FEMA relief, which will reimburse and help pay for burial expenses.
