It is really easy to do this, just call 2-1-1 during business hours, Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., and they will verbally accept your statement attesting to your loss and you might actually be able to receive 100% of your monthly benefit.&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Barnes said, &#8220;We had a little bit of flooding in our offices, but our warehouse and everything where our food is was safe. The really unfortunate thing was, the roads were so dangerous. We cover 26 counties, so as you can imagine, we were not able to get out and do our normal operation. Everything had to come to a halt for a few days. We were able to open up our warehouse and distribute a large amount of bottled water that we had on hand.
