Katrina Victims May Have to Repay Money

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Imagine that your home was reduced to mold-covered wood framing by Hurricane Katrina. Desperate for money to rebuild, you engage in a frustrating bureaucratic process, and after months of living in a government provided-trailer that gives off formaldehyde fumes you finally win a federal grant.

Then a collector announces that you have to pay back thousands of dollars.

Thousands of Katrina victims may be in the same boat.

A private contractor under investigation for the compensation it received to run the Road Home grant program for Katrina victims says that in the rush to deliver aid to homeowners in need some people got too much. Now it wants to hire a separate company to collect millions in grant overpayments.

Talk about insult to injury! First their pathetic response time to the disaster, and now they want them to pay for their mistakes. Talk about having brass b-lls!

Oooo this gonna get people so riled up.

There was a LOT of complaining that people who got the money-relief were spending it on food and cigarettes etc. (which is true...)

Now they're saying they gave them too much money and they want it back? That money is Loooong gone.

Governments do it all the time...we have been hit with a "tax decrepincy"
an error where they insist they gave you too much money and you have soo much time to pay it back and they will garnish your wages..

Strange... Road Home IS YET TO PAY 30%+ of the people who qualified for a recovery grant from the 11, 000, 000, 000:


One-third of qualified applicants for Road Home help had yet to receive any rebuilding check as of this past week. The program, which has come to symbolize the lurching Katrina recovery effort, is financed by $11 billion in federal funds.


My suggestion:

Those who have yet to be paid get debt collectors licences and start letters of demand to the Road Home offices.
