§30.514. 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. § 30.514
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 Act (see § 30.516); or
Adjustment or recovery of the overpayment would be against equity and good conscience (see § 30.517).
