For those of you in Indiana that were affected by the storms, but unable to get a waiver, FEMA now has a declaration as of March 5th for the Jan/Feb winter storms.

I called Career Solutions and they told me to resubmit. I have done that, so hopefully the horrible first 2 weeks I had being a consultant can be extended.

I worked so hard, and really just need one day extended.

It's disaster number 1828.
 
Please spread the word if you know anyone else affected. We don't want to miss out on this opportunity.
 
Thank you for sharing this update. I'm glad to hear that FEMA has declared a disaster for the recent winter storms in Indiana. It's unfortunate that you were unable to get a waiver initially, but hopefully resubmitting will give you the extra time you need. It sounds like you've been through a lot as a consultant, and I hope this extension will provide some relief. Stay safe and best of luck to you.
