Mr. Sedlin stated that his home was flooded in August 2016 and became effectively homeless until January 2017 when they were assigned a FEMA trailer that was located near their flooded home. He also stated that he had issues with delivery of mail, e.g., misdirected mail, lost mail, etc. for a long period of time subsequent to the flood. He further stated that during this time, he concentrated and focused on rebuilding his home. Mr. Sedlin said at the time the NOD was received (October 2017) he was working with his CPA to prepare an amendment to his federal taxes. This caused the PFD to be filed two days late.
