• Section Name: What reports are needed when compensation payments continue for children over age 18?

    (a) Compensation payable on behalf of a child, brother, sister, or 
grandchild, which would otherwise end when the person reaches 18 years 
of age, shall be continued if and for so long as he or she is not 
married and is either a student as defined in 5 U.S.C. 8101(17), or 
physically or mentally incapable of self-support.
    (b) At least twice each year, OWCP will ask a beneficiary receiving 
compensation based on the student status of a dependent to provide proof 
of continuing entitlement to such compensation, including certification 
of school enrollment.
    (c) Likewise, at least twice each year, OWCP will ask a beneficiary 
or legal guardian receiving compensation based on a dependent's physical 
or mental inability to support himself or herself to submit a medical 
report verifying that the dependent's medical condition persists and 
that it continues to preclude self-support.
