Federal Emergency Relief Act

Federal Emergency Relief Act was one of the first New Deal acts by president Franklin Delano Roosevelt when he was convening with the Hundred Days Congress. This act was enacted in May 22, 1933, and its main function was to create Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). FERA distributed more then 20 million dollars in direct aid to unemployed workingmen. This in turn would help working men to find new jobs. Finally dawning the end of Hoover's policy of indirect relief.
