Did you know that FEMA wants the money back?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) May 10th, 2011

$22 million dollars to be exact. During the 2008 floods in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, FEMA mistakingly issued $20,000 dollar checks to flood victims. FEMA states the mistakes were made by FEMA employees that did not understand the requirements for federal aid, in a flooding situation. Now, FEMA is asking those flood victims to return the money within 30 days. Question: don’t you just know these flood victims still have that $20,000 dollars tucked away somewhere and they never used it? I say, good luck to FEMA in trying to collect our tax dollars that you “screwed up again”. What is your opinion?
