H.R. 5452 – Sandy Duplication of Benefits Fairness Act

AI-Generated Summary

Updated April 14, 2026 at 10:09 AM UTC

The Sandy Duplication of Benefits Fairness Act updates a provision in the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act by moving a key date back several years. The earlier date is intended to correct a duplication‑of‑benefits problem for communities that received Community Development Block Grant‑Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) assistance after Hurricane Sandy. The change affects how eligibility or funding periods are calculated for those Sandy disaster recipients.

Key Provisions

Changes the date in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Section 1210(a)(3)) from January 1, 2016 to October 1, 2012.
The new date applies retroactively as if it had been part of the original 2018 FAA law.
