I heard about that. Post-Katrina, some folks got FEMA money that in retrospect were not eligible. FEMA has asked for it back, as that's the law (apparently there is some law specifically about when FEMA gives money to the wrong people) but they are trying to get special Congressional dispensation so the people don't have to give it back (it would be a Congressional approval kind of thing)
