Here's a mayor who works in North Carolina and he's claiming that his daughter was denied the Fega check for $750 as part of the relief from Hurricane Helene. We cannot confirm if the mayor's story is true or not. UPDATE: NY Post covered this story with a few more details:

A North Carolina mayor’s daughter who lost her home in Hurricane Helene was allegedly turned down for the $750 FEMA emergency grant – and got only $300 that “won’t even cover what’s in her refrigerator,” her furious dad said. Newland Mayor Derek Roberts’ daughter applied for the $750 Serious Needs Assistance from FEMA when her home was decimated by Hurricane Helene’s floodwaters nearly two weeks ago, he told FOX News on Tuesday night.
“My daughter, whose house got completely wiped out, she has no flood insurance. She meets with a FEMA person, applies for everything…she doesn’t get the $750 that Kamala says she is supposed to get,” Roberts lamented.

“[She] gets approved for $300 for personal items. What’s that supposed to do?” he continued.
