These expenses shall be determined in the manner prescribed by federal regulations appearing at 49 CFR 24.301 and 24.302, (as amended and as they may be amended), and guidelines issued by the Bureau.

If two or more displaced legal occupants of a housing unit move to separate replacement dwellings, each legal occupant is entitled to a reasonable prorated share, as determined by the relocation advisory agency, of the relocation payment which would have been made if the occupants had moved together to a comparable replacement dwelling, provided that if two or more occupants legally maintained separate households within the same dwelling, each separate household is entitled to separate relocation payments.
(3) Replacement Housing Payments. If they qualify, displaced homeowners and tenants shall be eligible for additional payments for costs relative to obtaining replacement housing. These payments shall be determined in the Manner prescribed by federal regulations at 49 CFR 24.401, 24.402, 24.403, and 24.404 (as amended and as they may be amended).
