每位山火災民可領$770！還有哪些財政補貼？
樂活小編
洛杉磯野火持續肆虐，已造成嚴重破壞，成千上萬的居民流離失所。
面對災後重建的挑戰，聯邦和州政府緊急推出財政補貼和稅務減免政策，幫助受災居民和企業盡快恢復正常生活。
拜登總統宣布，加州野火受災者可獲得一次性770美元緊急援助，用於購買必需品，如飲用水、處方藥和臨時住所費用。
拜登政府表示，截至目前，已有近6,000名倖存者通過的緊急需求援助計劃（Critical Needs Assistance Program）領取了510萬美元救濟金。此外，受災居民和企業還可通過FEMA申請其他形式的援助。
自上周五開放申請以來，已有約33,000人註冊FEMA援助計劃。符合條件的災民可通過以下方式申請援助：
FEMA官網：https://www.disasterassistance.gov/
撥打熱線：800-621-3362
除了直接的現金補助，拜登此前還承諾，聯邦政府將在未來180天內承擔加州滅火工作的全部費用，包括為期6個月的野火廢墟清理工作。不過，FEMA管理局局長Deanne Criswell警告稱，清理工作可能會持續更長時間。
與此同時，美國國稅局（IRS）於1月10日宣布，受野火和強風影響的南加州居民和企業，可享受稅務減免措施，並推遲報稅截止日期至2025年10月15日。
此次稅務減免適用於FEMA認定的聯邦災區，目前包括洛杉磯縣。未來，若有更多縣被納入災區，該政策將自動擴展至新受影響地區。
此外，IRS還表示，將自動向災區居民和企業提供報稅和罰款減免，符合條件的納稅人無需主動申請。但若因特殊情況（如搬遷）未被識別為災區居民，納稅人可撥打IRS熱線：866-562-5227。

洛杉磯縣政府的“不幸與災害房產稅減免”（Misfortune and Calamity Property Tax Relief）計劃，為房屋損失超過1萬美元的居民提供房產稅減免。
申請需在火災發生後一年內完成，並提交ADS-820表格以及損失證明文件，如保險公司報告、照片及第三方鑒定報告。

About Us
About Happy 50 Plus
Happy 50 Plus was founded in 2018 as a social-mission community organization that serves the underserved 50+ Chinese Americans /AAPIs with language barriers and limited accesses to valuable information for healthy aging, and has dedicated to providing timely and reliable resources and information from government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, academia, philanthropists, and community development investors that wish to reach the 50+ Chinese Americans/AAPIs in the United States.
The mission of Happy 50 Plus is to be a one-stop reliable resource hub to help 50+ Chinese Americans/AAPIs and keep them connected to avoid social isolation. Most of the programs and materials we share are in-language and culturally relevant.
To date, we have registered 10,000+ AAPI older adults as members, and reached 150,000+ attendees/audience through community-based, life-enhancing educational virtual and in-person workshops, interviews and fun events.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Happy 50 Plus successfully pivoted our members and followers who are over 50 years old from in-person reach out to virtual and digital platforms. We educated and helped the older adults to learn how to keep connected through Zoom, YouTube, FB, IG, Twitter, WeChat, website and e-newsletters via emails. We successfully built a supportive and empathetic community for AAPI older adults.
Closing “digital divide” for AAPI older adults is an important mission carried by Happy 50 Plus.
90% of Happy50Plus members are California residents and 85% out of them are from Southern California, including LA County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, Riverside County and San Diego.
-We have the ecosystem knowledge—we know the languages, the communities, the culture and the target demographic;
-We are the thought leader organization working specifically in the aging Chinese American/ AAPIs landscape in the U.S.;
-We can effectively reach and engage the 50+ AAPI older adults through both virtual and in-person (when available) events, workshops, social media (WeChat, Line, IG, FB, Twitter), eNewsletters, and community partners with culturally-relevant messages;
-We successfully built a nationwide community for 50+ Chinese Americans/AAPIs older adults, whether they are acculturated, bilingual, monolingual or socially isolated.
