Sec. 755.15  Handling exceptional cases.

    The Deputy Administrator may allow payment for performance not 
meeting all program requirements, where not prohibited by statute, if in 
his judgment such action is needed to permit a proper disposition of the 
case. Such action may be taken only where the person acted in good faith 
and in reasonable reliance on any instruction or commitment of any 
member, or employee of the State or county committee or representatives 
of other Federal agencies assigned responsibility under the program, in 
meeting his obligations under the contract and in so doing reasonably 
accomplished the purposes of the contract. The amount of the payment 
shall be based on the actual performance and shall not exceed the amount 
to which the person

would have been entitled if the performance rendered had met all 
requirements.
