Summary

Money the federal government paid must be paid back if certain things happen soon after a senior center is bought or built. If, within 10 years after the center is bought or within 20 years after construction is finished, the owner stops being a public or nonprofit group or the building stops being used for its original purpose, the payment can be recaptured. The Assistant Secretary can decide, under the agency’s rules, to excuse the owner for good cause.
