Sec. 1261.312  Action on approved claims.

    (a) Upon settlement of a claim, the official designated in Sec. 
1261.308 will prepare and have executed by the claimant a Voucher for 
Payment of Tort Claims (NASA Form 616) if the claim has been acted upon 
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 2473(c)(13), or a Voucher for Payment under 
Federal Tort Claims Act (Standard Form 1145) if the claim has been acted 
upon pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act. The form will then be 
referred to the cognizant NASA installation fiscal or financial 
management office for appropriate action.
    (b) When a claimant is represented by an attorney, both the claimant 
and attorney will be designated as ``payees'' on the voucher, and the 
check will be delivered to the attorney whose address shall appear on 
the voucher.
    (c) Acceptance by the claimant, agent, or legal representative, of 
any award, compromise, or settlement made pursuant to this subpart shall 
be final and conclusive on the claimant, agent or legal representative 
and any other person on whose behalf or for whose benefit the claim has 
been presented, and shall constitute a complete release of any claim 
against the United States and against any employee of the Government 
whose act or omission gave rise to the claim, by reason of the same 
subject matter.
