The Board suspended all but $250 at the July 2016 meeting. Mr. Hanlon states that he received no compensation for his service. He also states that he flooded during the August floods and he has no flood insurance.
Initial Information:
Mr. Hanlon states that he did not receive (or sign for) the NOD that was issued in April 2015. He states that upon review of the green card receipt, that his father signed for the notice, but his father never gave it to him. Mr. Hanlon states once he was contacted by agency staff, he immediately filed the PFD.
Mr. Hanlon further states that he thought he faxed the PFD prior to the original due date, i.e., May 15, 2014; however, he had no additional information to offer as to when it was faxed or from what fax number it came from.
Mr. Hanlon also states that while a replacement was not found until 2014, he did not attend any meetings after 2012 when his wife was diagnosed with cancer.
