More fraud, waste, and abuse from FEMA, including people just calling in and getting a check in the mail:

In at least 1,000 cases, people succeeded in collecting aid using the Social Security numbers of dead people, the GAO discovered. Although the $2,000 payments were limited to one per household, auditors found that FEMA gave duplicate payments to 5,000 individuals who already had collected $2,000 each in debit cards. The error cost taxpayers an estimated $10 million.

The GAO says the fraud could reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
