                     CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF STATE
 
PART 17--OVERPAYMENTS TO ANNUITANTS UNDER THE FOREIGN SERVICE RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY SYSTEM--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 17.2  General provisions.

    Section 822(d) of the Act (22 U.S.C. 1076(d)) provides recovery of 
overpayments by the Department of State of benefits to annuitants may 
not be made when, in the judgment of the Secretary, the individual 
recipient is without fault and recovery would be against equity and good 
conscience or administratively infeasible. This part establishes 
procedures for notification to annuitants of their rights, for 
administrative determination of those rights and for appeals of negative 
determinations. This part also establishes procedures by which an 
annuitant can contest a determination that the annuitant has been 
overpaid.
