On Monday, President Donald Trump approved a major disaster declaration for Iowa, which provides the state with funds for clean up and recovery efforts.
However, according to the FEMA website, Governor Kim Reynolds' request for individual assistance for families and households remains "under review".
A spokesperson for the Governor's office says this portion of the request will be approved after additional damage assessment is completed.
If approved, individual assistance funding will provide disaster-impacted homeowners and businesses with programs and services to maximize recovery, including assistance with housing, medical expenses and legal services.
