FEMA is prohibited from duplicating benefits from other sources, and therefore reduces otherwise eligible costs by actual or anticipated insurance proceeds. FEMA’s minimum project threshold for 2017 was $3,100.00. If, after accounting for all project costs and adjusting for insurance proceeds, the cost of work on a project is less than the minimum threshold amount, that work is not eligible for PA funding. The Applicant’s revised claim summary with supplemental invoices, purchase orders, and payment records and FEMA’s adjustment for all project costs to avoid duplication of benefits, demonstrate that the remaining costs meet the minimum project threshold and are eligible for PA funding.

The documentation submitted by the Applicant on second appeal demonstrates that, after a reduction for actual insurance proceeds to avoid a duplication of benefits, the remaining costs meet the 2017 minimum project threshold and are eligible for Public Assistance funding. Therefore, this appeal is granted.
