§ 755.15 - Handling exceptional cases.

The Deputy Administrator may allow payment for performance not meeting all program requirements, where not prohibited by statute, if in his judgment such action is needed to permit a proper disposition of the case. Such action may be taken only where the person acted in good faith and in reasonable reliance on any instruction or commitment of any member, or employee of the State or county committee or representatives of other Federal agencies assigned responsibility under the program, in meeting his obligations under the contract and in so doing reasonably accomplished the purposes of the contract. The amount of the payment shall be based on the actual performance and shall not exceed the amount to which the person would have been entitled if the performance rendered had met all requirements.
