FEMA reimbursement of state and local governments is not known for being fast. To think that in less than a year, you would have those funds processed and checks cut — might be a bit idealistic. See Florida Keys Waiting for Millions in FEMA Money After Irma — and Hurricane Season Is Near.

Remember, these payments have to go through the state of Florida's Emergency Management Office, and I recall that they were cited in 2017 as having significant problems and a backlog on their end for doing their share of the recovery paperwork required by federal and state laws.
