Goodwin says his department has met with homeowners in Pamlico County and elsewhere who were unaware of the deadline to file claims. He says the date should be pushed back by at least two weeks.
More than $64 million in aid funding has been dispensed in North Carolina since the Category 1 storm struck in August.
