Sec. 48.506  Recovery of erroneous annuity payments.

    (a) The Secretary of the Department concerned is empowered to use 
any means provided by law to recover amounts of annuities erroneously 
paid to any individual under the Plan. He may authorize such recovery by 
adjustment in subsequent payments to which the individual is entitled.
    (b) There need be no recovery when in the judgment of the Secretary 
of the Department concerned and the Comptroller General of the United 
States, the individual to whom the erroneous payment was made is without 
fault and recovery would be contrary to the purpose of the Plan or would 
be against equity and good conscience.
