§ 20-06 Miscellaneous.

RCNY § 20-06

a. No Entitlement to Benefits.

1.Any benefit that may be offered or conferred pursuant to this Chapter does not constitute entitlement to such benefit. Disaster recovery benefits are an entirely discretionary form of assistance, particularly where, as here, the City intends to seek federal funding and/or reimbursement for its actions. If such funding is not available, or less than is necessary, the City may reduce or eliminate benefits without notice.

2.Every applicant for benefits under any of the programs described in this Chapter must certify that they understand they have no entitlement to such benefits and that there is no guarantee they will receive such benefits. b. Severability. If any provision of this Chapter, or the application of any provision of this Chapter (or guidance issued pursuant to this Chapter), is deemed invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced to any extent, the remainder of this Chapter or guidance issued pursuant to this Chapter will not be affected. All valid applications of this Chapter (or guidance issued pursuant to this Chapter) shall be severed from any applications deemed invalid, leaving the valid applications in full force.
