 Subpart F_Reduction for Workers' Compensation and Disability Benefits 
              Under a Federal, State, or Local Law or Plan
 
Sec. 226.70  General.


    For any month an employee disability annuitant is entitled to 
workers' compensation or a public disability benefit, the tier I benefit 
of the spouse or divorced spouse is reduced due to receipt of such 
benefits. (If both spouse and divorced spouse annuities are payable, the 
reduction amount is divided and applied in equal amounts to both the 
spouse and divorced spouse tier I benefits.) The employee tier I is 
reduced by the difference between the total reduction amount, described 
in Sec. 226.71 of this part, and the reduction in the spouse and 
divorced spouse tier I benefits.
