A friend of mine worked about 2 months of clean-up on Michael and can't get paid. I’ve heard that from a couple people but every one I talked too (that were in that situation) were actually subs. I’m curious how you actually get approved as a contractor (not sub contractor). My company already does business with the Department of Energy.

I worked with a lot of the clean up crews after Katrina supplying them equipment.. A lot did not get paid, or only got partially paid.
Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching - even when doing the wrong thing is legal. Aldo Leopold .. (except when it comes to trailer tags)

You have to be a huge contractor like Phillips and Jordan.

Anyone here work as a contractor for FEMA? If so please PM me. I’ve got a question. Yes they are criminals. Yes they will screw you.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

I do contract work for FEMA but it is for security, not clean up. I do not work directly for FEMA, like others have said. In fact, there are two agencies between FEMA and myself that the money goes through and actually, FEMA is just another step in the ladder as it ultimately ends at The Dept. of Homeland Security. I know guys that worked and still working cleanup in Panama City. None of them have complained about getting paid, but I have heard of others that have. The problem is they were working for subcontractors that were not paying them as they advertised or work for a contractor such as this. The key to doing the work is, just like Scrubbuck said, to have the resources to be one of the larger contractors that hires people to work for you and not depend on getting paid weekly in order to make your payroll. We have no problems getting paid, in fact, they called a little bit ago and said my check is ready. There is money to be made with FEMA, but you'd better make sure that who you are working for is on the up and up and keep in mind that what FEMA spends has to go through a number of pockets to get to who actually does the work. Not necessarily the most efficient way to operate, but considering that it has to be done mostly on the fly as people want clean up as soon as possible after a disaster and you don't know when and where it is needed until it is, the system is pretty effective, or about as much as possible.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
