(1) Actual reasonable expenses in moving himself, his family, business, farm operation, or other personal property;

(2) Actual direct losses of tangible personal property as a result of moving or discontinuing a business or farm operation, but not to exceed an amount equal to the reasonable expenses that would have been required to relocate such property;

(3) Actual reasonable expenses in searching for a replacement business or farm; and

(4) Actual reasonable expenses necessary to reestablish a displaced farm, nonprofit organization, or small business at its new site, but not to exceed ten thousand dollars.

2. Any displaced person eligible for payments under subsection 1 of this section may elect to receive an expense and dislocation allowance under this subsection in lieu of the payments available under subsection 1 of this section. The expense and dislocation allowance shall be determined according to criteria and a schedule established by the United States Department of Transportation.
