Jan 14, 2025, 01:32 AM
President Joe Biden announced that individuals affected by the California wildfires will receive a one-time payment of $770 to assist with their immediate needs. Speaking during a press call on Monday, Biden emphasized the government's commitment to providing aid without delay, stating, "We're not waiting until the fires are over to start helping the victims." The allocation is intended to help those who have lost their homes and possessions due to the fires, which have caused significant damage across Southern California. The announcement comes shortly after the administration authorized $500 million in aid to Ukraine the previous week.
