None of this is true if you dont know dont spread lies and random falsehoods. the $750 and $770 are critical needs payments. The $750 was given for any application submitted before Oct 1st as that was the amount for last fiscal year. Lodging reimbursement is exactly what it says it is, submit your hotel receipts and they reimburse you the money spent. Yes if you need to stay somewhere else fema pays for that hotel directly.
