How to Get Assistance for Self-Employed People

Abstract

Alaquah, a Native American artist in Oklahoma, lost all her jewelry-making tools in a flood. Since she is self-employed, these tools were important for her work. She applied for FEMA assistance and sent in her tax forms to prove her self-employment. A FEMA inspector visited her home to check the damage. After reviewing her documents, FEMA approved her for funding to replace the tools she needed to get back to work. If you are self-employed and need help after a disaster, visit DisasterAssistance.gov or call 800-621-3362. #selfemployed #FEMAassistance #tools
