Texas Man Told to Return FEMA Aid Money

A Texas man who received FEMA funds after Hurricane Ike is being asked to return the aid money.

Clay Gates applied for federal funds after Ike pushed four or five feet of saltwater through his La Porte, Texas, home in 2008. Gates said he jumped through hoops, showing officials every document and picture they asked to see.


“We got a letter saying, ‘Hey, you qualified for this amount of benefits,’” Gates told MyFoxHouston. “And the next thing you know they direct-deposited money in our account.”
