20 CFR 10.415 - What must a beneficiary do if the number of beneficiaries decreases?

  • Section Number: 10.415
  • Section Name: What must a beneficiary do if the number of beneficiaries decreases? 
    The circumstances under which compensation on account of death shall 
be terminated are described in 5 U.S.C. 8133(b). A beneficiary in a 
claim for death benefits should promptly notify OWCP of any event which 
would affect
his or her entitlement to continued compensation. The terms ``marriage'' 
and ``remarriage'' include common-law marriage as recognized and defined 
by State law in the State where the beneficiary resides. If a 
beneficiary, or someone acting on his or her behalf, receives a check 
which includes payment of compensation for any period after the date 
when entitlement ended, he or she must promptly return the check to 
OWCP.
