(b) No Double Benefits.—No person may receive disaster payments under this subtitle to the extent that such person receives a livestock emergency benefit for lost feed production in 1988 under section 606 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as added by section 101(a) of this Act. (c) Combined Limitation.—No person may receive any payment under this subtitle or benefit under title VI of the Agricultural Act of 1949 for livestock emergency losses suffered in 1988 if such payment or benefit will cause the combined total amount of such payments and benefits received by such person to exceed $100,000. If a producer is subject to the preceding sentence, the person may elect (subject to the benefits limitations under section 609 of the Agricultural Act of 1949) whether to receive the $100,000 in such payments, or such livestock emergency benefits (not to exceed $50,000), or a combination of payments and benefits specified by the person.
