Original Note:
The Stafford Act was authored in 1998 and allows FEMA to provide funeral assistance. While AOC did push to increase funding that decision was ultimately made by FEMA & required no authorization from Congress.AOC did not "author" any legislation related to this increase. https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/sen-schumer-rep-ocasio-cortez-announce-critical-new-details-fema-funeral https://www.fema.gov/disaster/historic/coronavirus/economic/funeral-assistance https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/fema-covid-19-funeral-assistance
