[StBernard] Unsure of the Road Home

[Westley Annis]

TLJ,

If you are relocating out of the start, your grant amount will be reduced by
30%.

Mississippi had less damage than Louisiana, they received more funding, and
they have more powerful politicians.  The $150,000 Mississippi is using is
the basis for the LRA using $150,000.  

Rep. Richard Baker tried to get them to raise it with no luck.

To the best of my knowledge, the plan is final, just waiting on funding from
Congress.

Westley,
 
Could you explain what happens to those of us who are relocating out of the
state?  The little bit that I understand of the Road Home, it seems that
people are getting penalized for having been insured and then if you leave
the state you lose out on everything.  In Mississippi, it's a flat $150,000
grant across the board.  Is this LRA plan the final one or are they still
working on one that wouldn't deduct the insurance proceeds?
 
Many thanks for any info that would make this easier to follow.
