Special Message from FEEA: FEEA Stands Ready to Assist Feds Affected by Sandy
Wednesday, October 31, 2012(National Federation of Federal Employees)
With Hurricane Sandy bearing down on
the East Coast, the Federal Employee Education
and Assistance Fund (FEEA) stands ready to
assist civilian federal and postal employees
impacted by the storm. Disaster grants of up to
$500 will be available to employees in hard-hit
areas experiencing verifiable hardship. Due to
limited funding, FEEA will prioritize grants
for those with major property damage or other
significant hardship.
Employees in need of help can
download a disaster relief application at www.feea.org/Disaster or call
FEEA at 1-800-323-4140 for more information.
Phone lines may be very busy if damage is
widespread. Callers are asked to be patient and
leave a message if prompted to do
so.
FEEA recently helped nearly 600 feds in the Gulf Coast area with more than $80,000 in grants and no-interest loans after Hurricane Isaac. Donations to FEEA’s Natural Disaster Fund are urgently needed to ensure all who qualify for assistance in the wake of this new disaster will receive it. Donations may be made via credit card on FEEA’s web site at www.feea.org/Give. Donations via check made out to “FEEA” may be sent to: FEEA Headquarters, 3333 S. Wadsworth Blvd., Suite 300, Lakewood, CO 80227.
