This is the first hurricane season where the $750 payment plan has been in effect, so it’s also not something officials and people in hurricane zones are familiar with. “I worry that they won’t apply for assistance, which means I can’t get them the necessary items they need.”Here’s what to know about FEMA’s assistance programs:What is the $750 FEMA payment to disaster survivors? This $750 payment is thanks to a relatively new federal program, implemented in March of this year. And counter to rumors, this money is not a loan; it is for disaster survivors to keep and spend. Rothenberg also stressed the $750 from FEMA is not a loan and is for disaster survivors to keep and spend.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg spoke directly to Elon Musk Friday on the billionaire's X platform, part of an effort to counter false conspiracies about federal disaster aid for victims of Hurricane Helene that Musk spread on X, where his follower count stands over 200 million. "No one is shutting down the airspace and FAA doesn't block legitimate rescue and recovery flights," wrote Buttigieg. Buttigieg was replying to a post from Musk that falsely claimed the Federal Aviation Administration was shutting down airspace in the disaster zone and "throttling" flights transporting supplies. An FAA spokesperson told CNBC, "There are no airspace restrictions in place in North Carolina as rescue efforts continue because of Hurricane Helene. Musk frequently uses X to provoke -- but in lashing out at FEMA on Friday, he escalated his battle with the U.S. government.
