Disperse disburse

Here's the latest substitution in a national publication: "Louisiana's Road Home program allocated $7.5 billion for rebuilding, but none of the money has been dispersed to residents yet." This is part of a long caption for a photograph on page 53 of the August 28 issue of Time. This was not breaking news. Somebody wrote it; nobody corrected it before it went to press; nor has the on-line text been corrected.
