Sec. 10.17  Is a beneficiary who defrauds the Government in connection 
with a claim for benefits still entitled to those benefits?

    When a beneficiary either pleads guilty to or is found guilty on 
either Federal or State criminal charges of defrauding the Federal 
Government in connection with a claim for benefits, the beneficiary's 
entitlement to any further compensation benefits will terminate 
effective the date either the guilty plea is accepted or a verdict of 
guilty is returned after trial, for any injury occurring on or before 
the date of such guilty plea or verdict. Termination of entitlement 
under this section is not affected by any subsequent change in or 
recurrence of the beneficiary's medical condition.
