Dispute Over FEMA Sandy Recoupment

Howell E. Jackson

Read over materials on FEMA Recoupment. Why are members of Congress from New York and New Jersey upset with FEMA's practices with respect to the recoupment of overpayments? Should agencies like FEMA have more latitude to forgive debts? We will be revisiting this topic at the beginning of the second week of class when we discuss the Department of Education's ability to forgive student loan debt.
