Can I receive Federal payouts from FEMA into my PayPal Balance account?

PayPal customers can receive FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) payouts into their PayPal Balance account.

  1. Enroll in Direct Deposit.
  2. Open a PayPal Debit card.
  3. Buy or receive cryptocurrency with your PayPal Balance account.
