    The following decisions shall not be reopened:
    (a) An award of an annuity beginning date to an applicant later 
found to have been in compensated service to an employer under part 202 
of this chapter on that annuity beginning date and who is found not to 
be at fault in causing the erroneous award; provided, however, that this 
exception shall not operate to permit payment of benefits for any month 
in which the claimant is found to be engaged in compensated service.
    (b) An award of an annuity based on a subsequently discovered 
erroneous crediting of months of service and compensation to a claimant 
where:
    (1) The loss of such months of service and compensation will cause 
the applicant to lose his or her eligibility for an annuity previously 
awarded;
    (2) The erroneously credited months of service do not exceed six 
months; and
    (3) The annuitant is found not to be at fault in causing the 
erroneous crediting.
    (c) An erroneous award of an annuity where the error is no greater 
than one dollar per month per annuity affected.
    (d) An erroneous award of a lump sum or accrued annuity payment 
where the error is no greater than $25.00.
