20 CFR 10.541 - What action will OWCP take after issuing written notice of its intention to reduce or terminate compensation?
- Section Number: 10.541
- Section Name: What action will OWCP take after issuing written notice of its intention to reduce or terminate compensation?
(a) If the beneficiary submits evidence or argument prior to the
issuance of the decision, OWCP will evaluate it in light of the proposed
action and undertake such further development as it may deem
appropriate, if any. Evidence or argument which is repetitious,
cumulative, or irrelevant will not require any further development. If
the beneficiary does not respond within 30 days of the written notice,
OWCP will issue a decision consistent with its prior notice. OWCP will
not grant any request for an extension of this 30-day period.
(b) Evidence or argument which refutes the evidence upon which the
proposed action was based will result in the continued payment of
compensation. If the beneficiary submits evidence or argument which
fails to refute the evidence upon which the proposed action was based
but which requires further development, OWCP will not provide the
beneficiary with another notice of its proposed action upon completion
of such development. Once any further development of the evidence is
completed, OWCP will either continue payment or issue a decision
consistent with its prior notice.
