Abstract
Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) and Small Business Administration (SBA) may not provide duplicative disaster assistance to individuals, businesses, including Private-Not-for Profits (PNPs), or other entities for the same disaster or emergency losses. To accomplish this, DHS/FEMA and SBA will participate in a Computer Matching program to share data and financial/benefits award decisions of individuals, businesses, and/or other entities to verify eligibility for benefits, prevent duplicative aid from being provided in response to the same disaster or emergency and recover aid when duplication of benefits is identified.
