Processing Claims. Each response agency is responsible for preparing the necessary documentation and submitting a claim for resources deployed under this Plan. The requests for reimbursement should be submitted directly to the requesting municipality using the Standard Invoice Form contained in Appendix C. The requesting municipality is responsible for arranging for reimbursement from local, State or Federal funding sources as appropriate. The size of the event, the type of event and the type of emergency or disaster declaration can effect which funding sources are available. In all cases, time is of the essence. Reimbursement Procedure The following notes are offered to assist the responding agencies regarding reimbursement procedures: The one procedure that should be consistent for the preparation of all claims is the documenting procedure. It is very important, especially for FEMA claims, that written mutual aid agreements be executed prior to a disaster. The Plan must be adopted by the local jurisdiction(s) prior to the incident. The crucial points that the agreement must contain are: 1) the terms for charges for mutual aid; and 2) there is no contingency clause, i.e. “Payment will be provided only upon receipt of funding from FEMA.” This Plan meets those standards. Because we have a Mutual Aid Agreement in place, organizations providing assistance are viewed as “Contractors” by FEMA. As a result, the responding community only needs to provide the requesting community with the Standard Invoice Form mentioned above to receive reimbursement from the requesting community The requesting community can receive reimbursement from FEMA, when a Major Disaster has been declared, by presenting a copy of the Standard Invoice Form and a completed FEMA Form 90-126 (Contract Work Summary). See Appendix C. This procedure is preferred to the more complex alternate process of each responding community completing forms for the six categories of reimbursement and submitting them directly to FEMA. It also helps the responding community from incurring a 10% share of the total cost. Supporting documentation should be retained by the responding community in accordance with standard accounting protocols. Additional information is available from FEMA’s “Public Assistance Guide” (FEMA 322) and FEMA’s “Public Assistance Policy Digest (FEMA 321).
