FEMA may provide assistance for force account labor overtime costs that are directly tied to the performance of eligible emergency work and adequately documented. The Applicant did not provide timesheets or other payroll documentation; therefore, FEMA cannot verify that the fire department employees had worked over their standard time schedule when assigned to the COVID-19 testing and vaccination sites. Work and costs to support the distribution and administration of COVID-19 vaccines may be eligible for PA. The Applicant did not provide documentation describing the work each fire department employee performed while on duty during the hours at issue.

The Applicant’s fire department employees were not working eligible overtime hours or performing eligible emergency protective measures in response to COVID-19. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
