Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 172 / Thursday, September 5, 2024 / Notices
the FECA authorizes the Secretary of
Labor to require the employee to assign
his or her right of action to the United
States or prosecute the action in his or
her own name. See 5 U.S.C. 8131.
After identifying third-party claims
through the claims process, OWCP
refers them to the Solicitor of Labor
(SOL). SOL initiates Forms CA–1108
and CA–1122 to determine the amount
of the refund due to the United States
out of the proceeds of an action asserted
by an injured Federal employee against
a liable third party for a compensable
injury.
An injured federal employee who
receives money or property from a
judgment or a settlement of the action
must reimburse the United States for
past compensation payments. See 5
U.S.C. 8132. The formula in section
8132 of the FECA must be used to
calculate the reimbursement. Section
8132 states that ‘‘the beneficiary, after
deducting therefrom the costs of suit
and a reasonable attorney’s fee, shall
refund to the United States the amount
of compensation paid by the United
States and credit any surplus on future
payments of compensation payable to
him for the same injury.’’ Therefore, to
calculate the amount of the refund due,
employees must provide the amount of
the settlement they received, the
amount of the costs of the suit, and the
fees charged by the attorney.
If the amount of the employee’s
recovery remaining after certain
deductions specified in the statute
exceeds the amount of OWCP’s
disbursements, the surplus must be
credited against future payments of
compensation, because the FECA
mandates that the employee ‘‘shall
refund to the United States the amount
of compensation paid by the United
States and credit any surplus on future
payments of compensation.’’ 5 U.S.C.
8132.
To enforce the United States’ statutory
right to reimbursement, the Office of
Workers’ Compensation Programs
(OWCP) has promulgated regulations.
The regulations require a FECA
beneficiary to report these types of
payments (20 CFR 10.710) and submit
the detailed information necessary to
calculate the amount of the refund and
surplus, if any, according to the formula
in the statute. (20 CFR 10.707(e)).
The information collected by Form
CA–1108 and Form CA–1122 from the
FECA beneficiary includes this
information and is necessary to
calculate the amount of the refund and
surplus owed to the United States from
the FECA beneficiary’s settlement or
judgment, as required in the statute and
the regulations.
