# §10.221. How is a claim for COP controverted?


When the employer stops an employee's pay for one of the reasons cited in [§ 10.220](/cfr/20/10.220.md), the employer must controvert the claim for COP on Form CA-1, explaining in detail the basis for the refusal. The final determination on entitlement to COP always rests with OWCP.
