## Text

The purpose of this chapter is to establish eligibility, activation, funding, and programmatic criteria for a Washington state disaster individual assistance (IA) program. The state IA program is designed to provide supplemental state assistance for disaster survivors. Assistance to businesses damaged, destroyed, or otherwise closed due to a disaster or for individuals to replace lost wages caused by a disaster are ineligible for the IA program. Funding is issued through reimbursements to eligible county or tribal governments for most aspects of the state IA program. Assistance is provided from the eligible county or tribal government directly to the eligible individuals, with support provided as needed by the Washington military department, emergency management division. The extended sheltering assistance and disaster case management programs are issued in the form of grants to eligible county or tribal governments.
