(a) Payment. Payment of a claim approved under this subpart is
contingent upon claimant's execution of a ``Voucher for Payment Under
Federal Tort Claims Act,'' Standard Form 1145. When a claimant is
represented by an attorney, the voucher for payment shall designate both
the claimant and his or her attorney as payees, and the check shall be
delivered to the attorney whose address shall appear on the voucher.
(b) Acceptance. Acceptance by the claimant, or his or her agent or
legal representative, of an award, compromise, or settlement under
Sec. 2672 or Sec. 2677 of title 28, U.S.C., is final and conclusive on
the claimant, his or her agent or legal representative, and any other
person on whose behalf or for whose benefit the claim has been presented
and constitutes a complete release of any claim against the United
States and against any officer or employee of the Government whose act
or omission gave rise to the claim by reason of the same subject matter.
