Full text
If OWCP finds that the recipient of an overpayment was not at fault, repayment will still be required unless:
(a) Adjustment or recovery of the overpayment would defeat the purpose of the FECA (see § 10.436), or
(b) Adjustment or recovery of the overpayment would be against equity and good conscience (see § 10.437).
