If the State obtains a public assistance (PA) grant from FEMA following a federal disaster declaration, the Fund may be used to provide the State match for reimbursement requests from eligible public entities that are approved. This is a Priority 6 use of the Fund. In order to obtain a federal public assistance grant, the State must commit to paying twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of public assistance requested. Pursuant to 37-B M.R.S. §744(2-A)(A), the State must pay fifteen percent (15%) of eligible recovery costs, and local jurisdictions pay for the remaining ten percent (10%) of the total amount of assistance requested.
