20 CFR 10.436 - Under what circumstances would recovery of an overpayment defeat the purpose of the FECA?
- Section Number: 10.436
- Section Name: Under what circumstances would recovery of an overpayment defeat the purpose of the FECA?
Recovery of an overpayment will defeat the purpose of the FECA if
such recovery would cause hardship to a currently or formerly entitled
beneficiary because:
(a) The beneficiary from whom OWCP seeks recovery needs
substantially all of his or her current income (including compensation
benefits) to meet current ordinary and necessary living expenses; and
(b) The beneficiary's assets do not exceed a specified amount as
determined by OWCP from data furnished by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. A higher amount is specified for a beneficiary with one or
more dependents.
