Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Monday announced a new program established with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

“We’ve been on the phone trying to get as flexible and accommodating circumstances as possible,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said during a press conference. “So here’s what families need to know: your loved ones should have COVID on their death certificate, anywhere listed on their death certificate, either as their primary or contributing cause of death.”
