Utility Payments, continued:Individual Applicant Request for Assistance and Duplication of Benefits Statement,
Certification, and Subrogation Agreement
Oregon Emergency Rental Assistance Program (OERAP) provides emergency assistance with rent and utility expenses and certain
other expenses related to housing incurred due, directly or indirectly, to the Covid-19 outbreak to eligible renter households in its
designated award area. This program is administered by Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) and is funded either
directly or indirectly through the US Department of the Treasury as part of Section 501 of Division N of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021, Pub. L. No. 116-260 (Dec. 27, 2020) (Section 501).
OHCS must implement procedures to prevent any Duplication of Benefits (DOB) as required by Section 501. With this form, an
applicant for OERAP assistance 1) outlines the OERAP assistance requested; 2) identifies other duplicative assistance received or
anticipated to be received; 3) states the OERAP funding request; 4) certifies the accuracy of the information; and 5) agrees to repay
any awarded OERAP assistance that is duplicated.
Under penalties of perjury, I/we certify that the information presented in this document is true and accurate to the best of my
knowledge and belief. I/We further understand that providing false representations herein constitutes an act of fraud. False,
misleading or incomplete information may result in my ineligibility to participate in this program or any other programs that will
accept this document. Additionally, if I/we receive future funding for the same purpose of the OERAP funds received, I/we will
agree to repay the assistance that was duplicated. Warning: Any person who knowingly makes a false claim or statement to the
U.S. Department of Treasury may be subject to civil or criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. 287, 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729.
