Sec. 219.64  When evidence may be required for other reasons.

    (a) The Board will require evidence of the appointment of a legal 
representative when--
    (1) The employee's estate is entitled to a lump-sum death payment, 
annuity unpaid at death, or residual lump sum, and an executor or 
administrator has been appointed for the estate; or
    (2) A minor child or incompetent is entitled to an annuity or lump-
sum payment and a guardian, trustee, committee, or conservator has been 
appointed to act in his or her behalf.
    (b) The Board will require evidence of an annuitant's earnings when 
the information that he or she furnished the Board does not agree with 
the earnings data furnished by the Social Security Administration or 
secured from other sources, and the annuitant maintains that the 
earnings data from the Social Security Administration or from other 
sources is not correct.
    (c) The Board will require evidence to establish the amounts paid as 
a public service pension, public disability benefit, or worker's 
compensation to an employee, spouse, widow, or widower when the pension, 
public disability benefit, or worker's compensation affects the amount 
of his or her annuity.

data.
