Woman Sentenced for Fraudulent FEMA Claim | Grand Rapids News

A woman in Muskegon County just got a six-month federal prison sentence for stealing nearly $50,000 in disaster relief funds after Hurricane Ian hit Florida. She claimed a vacation home was her primary residence to qualify for FEMA aid—but evidence showed she owned multiple properties, a $150K motor home, and had just returned from Aruba with $13K in cash.

She’ll also pay back over $57K and serve two years of supervised release—a stark warning against abusing emergency aid.
