The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s fourth extension of time for individuals in Texas affected by Hurricane Ike created a new deadline of February 20th for claims to be made. This, in light of the fact 90% of applicants who have submitted applications as of late were considered ineligible by FEMA. Texas Governor Rick Perry requested the extension in order to give applicants more time to get their affairs in order and ask the state for assistance.
