FEMA Wants $4.7M Back From Katrina Victims

[crabcake]

Ooops!

Some storm victims got duplicate or extra benefits because of FEMA errors, FEMA spokesman Eugene Brezany said, and others might have received benefits for expenses that later were reimbursed by insurance settlements.

...

People who get the form letter have 30 days to respond. If they don't meet the four-month deadline, the U.S. Treasury will attempt to collect the money, Brezany said.

I bet that's going to be a long line to pay back.....

Why not just give them credit cards or do you think that solution may be abused?

I wonder how many illegals made the stop after hopping the fence (that does not exist) to pick up their 2 grand lotto jackpot.

Since they were not checking SSNs I suppose it would have been an easy pickup of cash.

I bet that's going to be a long line to pay back.....

But not as long as the one to get into JPC's next press conference.

Have you noticed that it always backfires when George Bush decides to be "compassionate" and start doling out money?
