The federal guidelines contained in the gift program describe which expenses are eligible for compensation and which applications are approved.

Gifts are limited to $ 15,000 per applicant. However, business owners and non-profit organizations are encouraged to submit an application that includes all expenses they believe are eligible for assistance, even if the total amount of a claim is more than $ 15,000.

The final assessment may indicate that certain assessment costs are not included in the program guidelines. However, with all the possible costs, applicants are more likely to receive as many support funds as possible.
