(a) Compensation is payable when the employee starts to lose pay if
the injury causes permanent disability or if pay loss continues for more

day after pay stops. Compensation may not be paid while an injured
employee is in a continuation of pay status or receives pay for leave.
(b) Compensation for total disability is payable at the rate of
66\2/3\ percent of the pay rate if the employee has no dependents, or 75
percent of the pay rate if the employee has at least one dependent.
(``Dependents'' are defined at 5 U.S.C. 8110(a).)
