    Lodging Expense Reimbursement

    New Jersey residents in Bergen, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer,


    Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Union and Warren counties who incurred
    expenses for short-term lodging because of Hurricane Ida, you may be eligible for
    reimbursement from FEMA.

    What is Lodging Expense Reimbursement (LER)?

    FEMA may be able to provide reimbursement to eligible disaster survivors for out-
    of-pocket lodging expenses that are not covered by insurance benefits such as
    additional living expenses or loss of use. To be considered for LER your pre-
    disaster primary residence must be unlivable, inaccessible or affected by an
    extended disaster-caused utility outage.

    You may be considered for LER from FEMA if you have not received lodging
    assistance from any other source (e.g., voluntary organization) for the same dates
    the applicant is requesting LER.

    By law, FEMA cannot duplicate benefits of insurance. Insurance policies may


    include Additional Living Expenses or Loss of Use coverage, which is a benefit
    that provides supplemental money to cover increased costs, including temporary
    housing, when you are unable to live in your home due to a loss covered by
    insurance.

    How Do I Get Reimbursed?

    To be considered for LER, eligible applicants must submit verifiable lodging


    receipts or itemized statements with the following information: The name of the
    applicant or co-applicant, information for the lodging provider (name, address and
    phone number), dates of occupancy and the amount of expenses incurred.

    Applicants can upload their receipts online to their DisasterAssistance.gov


    account. Include the following information on all documents: Your name; last four
