20 CFR 30.17 - Is a beneficiary who defrauds the government in connection with a claim for benefits still entitled to those benefits?

Section Number: 30.17
Section Name: Is a beneficiary who defrauds the government in connection with a claim for benefits still entitled to those benefits?

    When a beneficiary either pleads guilty to or is found guilty on 
either federal or state criminal charges of defrauding the federal 
government in connection with a claim for benefits under the EEOICPA or 
any other federal or state workers' compensation law, the beneficiary's 
entitlement to any further benefits will terminate effective the date 
either the guilty plea is accepted or a verdict of guilty is returned 
after trial, for any occupational disease for which the time of injury 
was on or before the date of such guilty plea or verdict. Any 
subsequent change in or recurrence of the beneficiary's medical 
condition does not affect termination of entitlement under this 
section.
