18. A person who, as a farm operator or farmer, causes or has already caused a group of persons contemplated in sections 14 and 15 to be the recipient of all or part of a grant under section 2, 5 or 7 is considered to have personally benefited by the maximum grant for the purposes of the second paragraph and of section 21.
To fix the maximum grant to be made under section 2, 5 or 7 to a group of persons contemplated in sections 14 to 17, the Bureau must deduct the amount of any grant already obtained by each farm operator or farmer, as the case may be, who, as a member of such group, fulfills the conditions provided in sections 14, 15 and 17 to render such group eligible for the grants provided for in those sections, notwithstanding sections 21 and 22 and the maximum limit on the grants provided for in sections 2, 5 and 7.
