Duplication of Benefits. A Duplication of Benefits (DOB) occurs when a program beneficiary receives assistance from multiple sources for a cumulative amount that exceeds the total need for the same recovery purpose. The amount of the duplication is the amount of assistance provided in excess of the need. It is the Department’s responsibility to ensure that the DR-MHP provides assistance only to the extent that the disaster recovery need has not been fully met by funds that have already been paid, or will be paid, from another source. The Subrecipient must report all funds obtained for the activity by the Project owner from any source from the date of the disaster until the Project is completed. Additionally, the Department, in coordination with the Subrecipient, will perform a check for DOB prior to issuing a Notice to Proceed to ensure that duplicative assistance is not provided for multifamily housing. The Department also reserves the right to require that the Subrecipient perform additional DOB checks throughout the course of the Approved Project’s period/performance, up to and through the closeout of each Approved Project, to ensure there is no duplicative assistance throughout the course of the Approved Project. Any person who knowingly makes a false claim or statement to HUD may be subject to civil or criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. 287, 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729. The Subrecipient agrees to repay to the Department any assistance later received for the same purpose as the CDBG–DR funds and that exceeds the total need for the particular recovery purpose.
