Sec. 30.106  What should DOE do when an employee with a claim for an 
occupational illness dies?

    (a) When possible, DOE shall furnish a Form EE-2 to all survivors 
likely to be entitled to compensation after the death of an employee. 
DOE should also supply information about completing and filing the form.
    (b) DOE shall complete Form EE-5 as soon as possible and transmit 
the completed form to OWCP. On this form, DOE shall certify that it 
concurs with the employment information provided by the survivor, or 
that it disagrees with such information, or that it can neither concur 
nor disagree after making a reasonable search of its records and also 
making a reasonable effort to locate pertinent records not already in 
its possession.
    (c) Upon request of a survivor, DOE shall also assist such survivor 
in completing Form EE-4 and transmit the completed form to OWCP.
    (d) DOE should not wait for the claiming survivor to submit the 
necessary supporting medical evidence before it forwards any Form EE-2 
(or other document containing a survivor's claim) it has received to 
OWCP.
