Duplication of Benefits Webinar - 2019

The Office of Block Grant Assistance (OBGA) Disaster Recovery and Special Issues Division (DRSI) hosted a webinar to discuss the June 2019 Duplication of Benefits Notice, which describes the requirements to prevent duplication of benefits (DOB) applicable to Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) grants received in response to a disaster declared between 2015 and 2021.
