Payments under this program add to, but never duplicate, other payments already allowed by law. It doesn't matter whether the government acquired property by condemnation or another method — eligibility for compensation stays the same. Nothing here creates a legal claim against the government, blocks eminent domain, or stops an owner from asserting rights under other laws or the Constitution.

Payments made under sections 277d–17 to 277d–25 come in addition to any other payments the law already allows, but they can never duplicate another payment for the same loss. How the government acquired the property — whether by condemnation or some other method — does not change whether someone is eligible for reimbursement or compensation. Nothing in these sections gives anyone a new legal right or lawsuit against the United States, and nothing stops the government from using eminent domain or any other power it has under these sections or other law. These sections also do not stop an owner or tenant from claiming rights they have under other laws or under the Constitution.

Payments to be made as herein provided shall be in addition to, but not in duplication of, any payments that may otherwise be authorized by law. The means employed to acquire the property, whether by condemnation or otherwise, shall not affect eligibility for reimbursement or compensation under sections 277d–17 to 277d–25 of this title. Nothing contained in such sections shall be construed as creating any legal right or cause of action against the United States or as precluding the exercise by the Government of the right of eminent domain or any other right or power that it may have under such sections or any other law; nor shall such sections be construed as precluding an owner or tenant from asserting any rights he may have under other laws or the Constitution of the United States.
