# §30.225. What are the criteria for eligibility for benefits under Part B of EEOICPA for certain uranium employees?


In order to be eligible for benefits under this section, the claimant must establish the criteria set forth in either [paragraph (a)](#a) or [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section:

- (a) The Attorney General has determined that the claimant is a covered uranium employee who is entitled to payment of $100,000 as compensation due under [section 5](/cfr/20/5.md) of RECA for a claim made under that statute (there is, however, no requirement that the claimant or surviving eligible beneficiary has actually received payment pursuant to RECA). If a deceased employee's survivor(s) has been determined to be entitled to such an award, his or her survivor(s), if any, will only be entitled to EEOICPA compensation in accordance with [section 7384u(e)](/cfr/20/7384u.md?p=e) of the Act.
- (b) The covered uranium employee has been diagnosed with an injury, illness, impairment or disease that arose as a consequence of the medical condition for which he or she was determined to be entitled to payment of $100,000 as compensation due under [section 5](/cfr/20/5.md) of RECA.
