Code of Federal Regulations Title 20. Employees' Benefits § 20.10.436 Under what circumstances would recovery of an overpayment defeat the purpose of the FECA?

Current as of January 02, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

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.
