Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management
Abstract
From the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management led by Senator Rand Paul issued a weekly waste report looking into possible double payments in disaster relief and recovery situations for over $50 million in taxpayer costs. The report looks into the process of how institutions like FEMA appropriate money for relief, and if this leads to possible overcharges or misuse. The Subcommittee finds several instances of FEMA providing monetary relief that was already covered by external insurance as well as instances of money given by FEMA being used for other alternative projects.
