Plain-English Summary

The federal government's top auditor would be required to study why FEMA loses so many of its case management workers and report back to Congress with findings and recommendations. This would help lawmakers understand the reasons behind high turnover rates at the agency responsible for disaster response and recovery, which could affect how quickly and effectively FEMA helps people after emergencies.
