Components of Eligibility (1 of 2)

The four basic components of eligibility are:

Applicant
Facility
Work
Cost

FEMA refers to these components as the building blocks of an eligibility pyramid. Generally, FEMA must determine each building block eligible, starting at the foundation (Applicant) and working up to cost at the top of the pyramid.
