MIAMI, Oct. 4 - The Federal Emergency Management Agency is asking more than 7,600 Florida households to pay back about $30 million in aid they received after last year's hurricanes, an agency spokeswoman said.

In most cases, the agency wants the money back from storm victims who eventually got insurance settlements, said the spokeswoman, Frances Marine.
