                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION PROGRAMS, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 10_CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION UNDER THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION ACT, 
 
                      Subpart H_Special Provisions
 
Sec.  10.717  Is a settlement or judgment received as a result of allegations 

of medical malpractice in treating an injury covered by the FECA a gross 

recovery that must be reported to OWCP or SOL?

    Since an injury caused by medical malpractice in treating an injury 
covered by the FECA is also an injury covered under the FECA, any 
recovery in a suit alleging such an injury is treated as a gross 
recovery that must be reported to OWCP or SOL.
