MEDICAL ENCLOSURE

STATEMENT OF MEDICAL INSURANCE:

None of the individuals that I listed on my Disaster Assistance Application and that I have requested assistance for, were covered by health/medical insurance at the time of the disaster-related injury/illness loss. No one was covered by Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans Administration benefits nor did anyone have any other insurance, which would reimburse me for expenses incurred for which I am seeking disaster assistance.
