20 CFR 25.201 - How is the Special Schedule applied for employees in Australia?
- Section Number: 25.201
- Section Name: How is the Special Schedule applied for employees in Australia?
(a) The special schedule of compensation established by subpart B of
this part shall apply in Australia with the modifications or additions
specified in paragraph (b) of this section, as of December 8, 1941, in
all cases of injury (or death from injury) which occurred between
December 8, 1941 and December 31, 1961, inclusive, and shall be applied
retrospectively in all such cases of injury (or death from injury).
Compensation in all such cases pending as of July 15, 1946, shall be
readjusted accordingly, with credit taken in the amount of compensation
paid prior to such date. Refund of compensation shall not be required if
the amount of compensation paid in any such case, otherwise than through
fraud, misrepresentation or mistake, and prior to July 15, 1946, exceeds
the amount provided for under this paragraph, and such case shall be
deemed compromised and paid under 5 U.S.C. 8137.
(b) The total aggregate compensation payable in any case under
paragraph (a) of this section, for injury or death or both, shall not
exceed the sum of $4,000, exclusive of medical costs. The maximum
monthly rate of compensation in any such case shall not exceed the sum
of $50.
(c) The benefit amounts payable under the provisions of the
Commonwealth Employees' Compensation Act of 1930-1964, Australia, shall
apply as of January 1, 1962, in Australia, as the exclusive measure of
compensation in cases of injury (or death from injury) according on and
after January 1, 1962, and shall be applied retrospectively in all such
cases, occurring on and after such date: Provided, that the compensation
payable under the provisions of this paragraph shall in no event exceed
that payable under the FECA.
