New Jersey’s 12 members of the House of Representatives urged the Committee on Oversight and Government to hold hearings on the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s possible role in insurance fraud to deny claims to Hurricane Sandy victims.
In a letter sent on April 7 to the committee’s chairman and ranking member, the representatives cited a CBS 60 Minutes report that said FEMA knew of fraudulent practices by engineering and service companies as early as August 2013, yet failed to act.
