§10.434. If OWCP finds that the recipient of an overpayment was not at fault, what criteria are used to decide whether to waive recovery of it?
20 C.F.R. § 10.434
If OWCP finds that the recipient of an overpayment was not at fault, repayment will still be required unless:
Adjustment or recovery of the overpayment would defeat the purpose of the FECA (see § 10.436), or
Adjustment or recovery of the overpayment would be against equity and good conscience (see § 10.437).
