The Policy-Grounded AI
for Public Assistance
PAPPAIA is built to read published FEMA Public Assistance guidance and return cited, explainable, and independently verifiable answers for eligibility, documentation, and audit prep.
PAPPAIA is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency.
What people ask it
Real questions, answered from the policy.
How the answers are built
Built for the way PA policy actually works.
A fixed, published corpus
133 searchable documents: all five PAPPG editions since 2016, 44 CFR Part 206, 2 CFR Part 200 before and after its October 2024 revision, the Stafford Act, and FEMA's PA policies, procurement guides and fact sheets. Every source is listed before you sign up.
See the full source list →Citations to the section, not the PDF
Documents are indexed by section, so a citation points at a specific passage — document, chapter, section, page — and you can open it and read it yourself.
The edition that fits your date
Set your disaster's declaration date and answers come from the PAPPG edition in force on that date: Version 4 for declarations from June 1, 2020 through January 5, 2025, v5.0 Amended on or after January 6, 2025. Sources published after your event date are flagged.
The regulation, not just the summary
The PAPPG paraphrases the regulation constantly. When a passage cites a CFR section that is in the library, PAPPAIA pulls that section's text in as its own numbered source.
One corpus, no open web
Answers are drawn from the loaded policy documents and anything you attach — not from a web search. Answers are grounded in cited policy sources and include exact references for independent verification.
From eligibility through closeout
Emergency and permanent work, Categories A through G, procurement, insurance, management costs, appeals and closeout — the whole grant lifecycle sits in the corpus.
