20 CFR 30.516: Under what circumstances would recovery of an overpayment defeat the purpose of the Act?
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 20—Employees' Benefits
- CHAPTER I—OFFICE OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION PROGRAMS, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
- SUBCHAPTER C—ENERGY EMPLOYEES OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS COMPENSATION PROGRAM ACT OF 2000
- PART 30—CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION UNDER THE ENERGY EMPLOYEES OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS COMPENSATION PROGRAM ACT OF 2000, AS AMENDED
- Subpart F—Survivors; Payments and Offsets; Overpayments
Recovery of an overpayment will defeat the purpose of the Act if such recovery would cause hardship to the recipient because:
(a) The recipient from whom OWCP seeks recovery needs substantially all of his or her current income to meet current ordinary and necessary living expenses; and
(b) The recipient's assets do not exceed two months' expenditures as determined by OWCP using the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey tables.
