The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES)
is requesting local jurisdictions to submit all eligible COVID-19
costs incurred up to July 1, 2022 in order to maximize Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement. Although the
September 30 deadline for this submission to Cal OES has lapsed,
Cal OES is still accepting these submissions as many local
jurisdictions’ submissions are still outstanding.
Although the application deadline to formally submit claims to
FEMA is December 31, 2022, Cal OES is requesting local
jurisdictions submit their eligible costs beforehand in order to
provide Cal OES with the opportunity to provide technical
assistance and support prior to formal submittal to FEMA. To
assist with Cal OES’ ability to timely review submittals and
avoid any loss of FEMA reimbursement opportunities, CSAC staff
sent a reminder to all County Executive Officers last week to
submit COVID-19 eligible costs as soon as possible.
