FEMA handed out millions of dollars in hurricane relief checks to people who didn't need it last year. We're talking about people who filed claims in counties where the storms never showed up.
Now, FEMA's sending out bills, trying to get some money back -- from people who actually had storm damage.

Condo resident Stephen Snell got a bill from FEMA demanding he return $484 of the $2,000 he got for repairs. He told the Washington Post:

Of course if Hell does freeze over, someone would probably be eligible for more FEMA funds. (WashPost)
