20 CFR 10.118 - Does the employer participate in the claims process in any other way?
- Section Number: 10.118
- Section Name: Does the employer participate in the claims process in any other way?
(a) The employer is responsible for submitting to OWCP all relevant
and probative factual and medical evidence in its possession, or which
it may acquire through investigation or other means. Such evidence may
be submitted at any time.
(b) The employer may ascertain the events surrounding an injury and
the extent of disability where it appears that an employee who alleges
total disability may be performing other work, or may be engaging in
activities which would indicate less than total disability. This
authority is in addition to that given in Sec. 10.118(a). However, the
provisions of the Privacy Act apply to any endeavor by the employer to
ascertain the facts of the case (see Secs. 10.10 and 10.11).
(c) The employer does not have the right, except as provided in
subpart C of this part, to actively participate in the claims
adjudication process.
