(b) Derivative income. Any attorneys' fees claimed or collected and retained by the recipient after funding ceases that result from LSC–funded work performed during the grant term are derivative income attributable to the LSC grant. Such derivative income must be returned to LSC within 15 days of the date on which the recipient receives the income.
