\n A new FEMA policy change will scrub COVID-19 funds for disinfecting mass transit, schools and other public facilities, New York officials charged on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have spoken with New York State and New York City and they are telling me that disinfection of the MTA, government buildings, and schools will now no longer be eligible expenses [for federal reimbursement], and that PPE for non-medical workers has been strictly limited,\u201d Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The FEMA rule change, set for Sept. 15, eliminates federal support for the virus-safe operation of courthouses, public transit, public housing, schools and other public facilities, CNN reported on Wednesday \u2014 including funds for cleaning and protective equipment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe operation of schools and other public facilities, even with changes necessitated by the COVID-19 environment \u2026 are not immedia<\/a>te actions necessary to protect public health and safety,\u201d the emergency management agency wrote in an Aug. 29 policy summer provided to The Post by Schumer\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

New York has received $1.3 billion from FEMA since the pandemic began in earnest in March, and is expecting to receive more, Schumer said.<\/p>\n

The longtime New York senator called the \u201cmiddle of the game<\/a>\u201d policy shift \u201cdopey and dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAn absurd change like this one \u2014 that actually takes money away from New York that\u2019s now being used to clean the subways or prepare schools for classes \u2014 is a slap in the face to frontline workers, vulnerable seniors and kids,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a statement, a FEMA rep said the funds were intended \u201cso that communities can quickly respond to [emergency] events\u201d and that the new policy aimed to \u201cclarify\u201d eligible expenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cReimbursement for the purchase and distribution of disinfecting supplies for schools is only eligible when being used in the performance of an eligible emergency protective measure,\u201d the agency rep said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormal operation of schools and other public facilities are not emergency protective measures, so FEMA would not provide funding for these activities in these circumstances.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
