In 2018, POTUS' signature officially made it easier for the flood victims to receive federal aid. The law had Duplication of Benefits fixes & opened the door for school districts to gain millions more in funding by reducing penalties - all due to the newly added language (4/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

The provision removed a huge penalty imposed on each flooded school building to be limited to a one-penalty-per-facility limit, meaning several million more could be awarded from FEMA For example, Central Private would've lost several million in recovery $ without the fix (3/5) — PolitiTweet.org
