Less than 24 hours after beginning to distribute aid to the evacuees, FEMA has decided to stop issuing the $2,000 debit cards to Katrina's victims.

Apparently, only those evacuated to the Texas dome shelters will receive the funds, as reported by MSNBC

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it will scrap the program once officials finish distributing cards this weekend at shelters in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, where many of the evacuees were moved. No cards will be issued to victims in other states.
