§ 1439.408 - Miscellaneous provisions.

(a) Payments under this subpart are subject to provisions contained in subpart A of this part including, but not limited to provisions concerning misrepresentations, payment limitations, limitations on eligibility tied to the person's gross income, and refunds to CCC, liens, assignment of payments, and appeals, and maintenance of books and records. In addition other parts of this chapter and of chapter VII of this title relating to payments in event of death, the handling of claims, and other matters may apply, as may other provisions of law and regulation.

(b) Any payments not earned that have been paid must be returned with interest subject to such other remedies as may be allowed by law.

(c) No interest will be paid or accrue on benefits under this subpart that are delayed or otherwise not timely issued unless otherwise mandated by law.

(d) Nothing in this subpart shall require a commitment of funds to this subpart in excess of that determined to be appropriate by the Deputy Administrator and/or CCC.

(e) The Deputy Administrator can deny or adjust claims in those instances in which the party seeking relief was affiliated with or related to the owner of the livestock if it is determined by the Deputy Administrator that such action is consistent with the purposes of this subpart and may take such action as is deemed appropriate to avoid overlap with relief available under other subparts in this part.

(f) In no instance, unless otherwise approved by the Deputy Administrator, will the amount to be expended under this program exceed $10 million.
