What the document says
“For necessary expenses in carrying out the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), $26,367,000,000, to remain available until expended”
The Disaster Relief Fund, the largest single appropriation in the Act. The money stays available until spent. A proviso limits it to major disasters declared under the Stafford Act and designates it by the Congress as being for disaster relief pursuant to a concurrent resolution on the budget.
What the document actually says
“For necessary expenses in carrying out the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), $26,367,000,000, to remain available until expended”
That sentence, in plain words
The disaster fund gets $26,367,000,000. The money stays until it is used.
What this is about
This is the biggest sum in the law. It pays for help after a major disaster. The President must declare one first.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
