             Subpart C--Standards for Waiver of Overpayments
 
Sec. 845.301  Conditions for waiver.


    Recovery of an overpayment from the Fund may be waived pursuant to 
section 8470(b), of title 5, United States Code, when (a) the annuitant 
is without fault and (b) recovery would be against equity and good 
conscience. When it has been determined that the recipient of an 
overpayment is ineligible for waiver, the individual is nevertheless 
entitled to an adjustment in the recovery schedule if he or she shows 
that it would cause him or her financial hardship to make payment at the 
rate scheduled.
