The Federal Emergency Management agency is investigating 45-hundred households that it says may have received overpayments in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
After hurricane Sandy hit FEMA sent out some $1.4 billion in aid to residents along the East Coast – especially in New York and New Jersey.
In Maryland Somerset County residents were hit the hardest.
And many are now just getting their homes rebuilt.
Tina Throne, a Somerset County resident, told WBOC that she was surprised to hear some people may have to pay money back.
She recalls FEMA officials coming down to the town and people standing in lines for day and hours to get help.
She noted that the area is still economically devastated with many still trying to rebuild.
