Falsification and Investigation. If it is discovered that an Applicant has falsified his or her application, or otherwise abused the HAF Program, or if an Eligible Homeowner fails to notify the Tribe of changes to eligibility, the homeowner will be subject to penalties. Penalties will include ineligibility for continued participation in the HAF Program and repayment of the value of any benefit for which they were not eligible to receive. The Tribe shall have the right to seek such repayment through garnishment of the Recipient's wages or through a judgment from the Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Court, or any other court with jurisdiction.

The Tribe shall retain the right to conduct a follow-up investigation into any self-attestations submitted or regarding any other documentation, at its own discretion, if it determines that the reliability or accuracy of the information provided is in doubt.
