Sec. 30.17  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 or a 
State government in connection with a claim for benefits under the Act 
or any other Federal or State workers' compensation law, the 
beneficiary's entitlement to any further benefits will terminate 
effective the date either the guilty plea is accepted or a verdict of 
guilty is returned after trial, for any occupational disease for which 
the time of injury was on or before the date of such guilty plea or 
verdict. Any subsequent change in or recurrence of the beneficiary's 
medical condition does not affect termination of entitlement under this 
section.
