    (a) Where a recipient is found to have discriminated on the basis of

affirmative action to overcome the effects of conditions that resulted 
in limited participation in the recipient's program or activity on the 
basis of age.
    (c) If a recipient operating a program or activity which serves the 
elderly or children in addition to persons of other ages, provides 
special benefits to the elderly or to children, the provision of those 
benefits shall be presumed to be voluntary affirmative action provided 
that it does not have the effect of excluding otherwise eligible persons 
from participation in the program or activity.
