52:15D-12 Actions relative to National Flood Insurance claim payments.
10. The department shall not, to the full extent permitted by federal law or regulation, deem any National Flood Insurance Program claim payments to any National Flood Insurance Program policy holder made on or after May 18, 2015 to be a duplication of benefits of any federal grant award, or to require any other reduction of a previously determined grant or benefit to an applicant based on such payments. The department shall take available steps, including the submission of a waiver request to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, if either agency legally can grant such a waiver, in order to ensure that National Flood Insurance Program claim payments made on or after May 18, 2015 do not operate as a duplication of benefits with any existing federal grant award, or otherwise reduce the amount of an applicant's award.
