Hurricane Harvey victims are out of time

FEMA will not extend the National Flood Insurance Program Proof of Loss deadline to Dec. 31, despite a formal request from the Commissioner of the Texas Department of Insurance, Kent Sullivan, and a letter from U.S. Representatives John Culberson and Gene Green. The extension would allow more time for hundreds of people who remain in the appeal stage to resolve their cases.

“FEMA’s decision to treat Texans differently than New Jersey residents in the case of Hurricane Sandy by refusing to grant an extension is inexplicable and disgraceful,” said Derek Potts, national managing partner of Potts Law Firm, LLP.
