(a) An employee who is receiving compensation for partial or total
disability must advise OWCP immediately of any return to work, either
part-time or full-time. In addition, an employee who is receiving
compensation for partial or total disability will periodically be
required to submit a report of earnings from employment or self-
employment, either part-time or full-time. (See Sec. 10.5(g) for a
definition of ``earnings''.)
(b) The employee must report even those earnings which do not seem
likely to affect his or her level of benefits. Many kinds of income,
though not all, will result in reduction of compensation benefits. While
earning income will not necessarily result in a reduction of
compensation, failure to report income may result in forfeiture of all
benefits paid during the reporting period.
