When President Trump declared the COVID-19 national emergency on March 13, 2020, the Stafford Act took effect under Category B of the Public Assistance Program. The Stafford Act allows the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide assistance to government organizations for certain emergency protective measures.

In this episode of Beyond the Mic, Bonnie Schwieger and Layne Kockelman provide details on what emergency protective measures are eligible for FEMA reimbursement, considerations for single audits when it comes to FEMA reimbursement, as well as internal controls related to changing work environments and single audits.
