20 CFR 30.300 - What process will OWCP use to decide claims and to provide for administrative review of those decisions?

Section Number: 30.300
Section Name: What process will OWCP use to decide claims and to provide for administrative review of those decisions?

    OWCP district offices will issue recommended decisions with respect 
to claims. All recommended decisions, including those granting and 
denying benefits under the Act, will be forwarded to the Final 
Adjudication Branch (FAB). Claimants will be given an opportunity to 
object to all or part of the recommended decision. The FAB will 
consider any objections filed by a claimant and conduct a hearing, if 
requested to do so by the claimant, before issuing a final decision on 
the claim.
