NYS Rising just got back to me. A caseworker to be assigned by Labor day.

So I am told any work you did already not covered most likely you will not be reimbursed. It will be if not covered by previous help and completed by licensed contractors and meeting the "green" requirements. I was also told dont fix anything any more, full stop. They may decide not to pay homeowners anything and pay from a approved list of licensed contractors directly to complete the work.

Also it still has to be your primary residence, you have to be current on taxes and you have to agree to keep it as your primary for certain period of time and Income counts against you as lower income goes first and they may run out of funds before they reach the higher income levels.

I ran out of funds for now and my contractor is busy with insurance jobs that pay more. He wont be free till spring anyhow. By then I will know what to do. I say 10% chance tops I get anything.

Funny how are folks supposed to take the tax write off for the casualty loss.

The deadline to complete your taxes if you filed an extension is October 15, 2013, on that day you have to put down the total $ casualty loss for sandy after backing out all Fema pmts, insurance and grants. It is cutting it tight.
