{"data":{"id":"us/44-cfr-296.33","jurisdiction":"us","citation":"44 CFR 296.33","heading":"Partial payments.","body":"The Claims Office at the request of a claimant may make one or more partial payments on any aspect of a claim that is severable. Receipt by a claimant of a partial payment is contingent on the claimant signing a Release and Certification Form for the severable part of the claim for which partial payment is being made. Acceptance of a partial payment in no way affects a claimant's ability to pursue an Administrative Appeal of the Authorized Official's determination or to pursue other rights afforded by the Act with respect to any portion of a claim for which a Release and Certification Form has not been executed. The Claims Office decision on whether to provide a partial payment cannot be appealed.","path":["Title 44—Emergency Management and Assistance","CHAPTER I—FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY","SUBCHAPTER E—FIRE ASSISTANCE","PART 296—HERMIT'S PEAK/CALF CANYON FIRE ASSISTANCE","Subpart D—Claims Evaluation"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-44.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:15Z","sha256":"5782ad44d965af33fabb466614a62a33d44fdf91f314edc8d1bf263584f652b8","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/44-cfr-296.32","next":"us/44-cfr-296.34"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
