                 Subpart A_General Provisions for Claims
 
Sec. 750.10  Claims: Settlement and release.

    (a) Fully and partially approved claims. When a claim is approved 
for payment in the amount claimed, no settlement agreement is necessary. 
When a federal tort, military, or non-scope claim is approved for 
payment in a lesser amount than that claimed, the claimant must indicate 
in writing a willingness to accept the offered amount in full settlement 
and final satisfaction of the claim. In the latter instance, no payment 
will be made until a signed settlement agreement has been received.
    (b) Release. (1) Acceptance by the claimant of an award or 
settlement made by the Secretary of the Navy or designees, or the 
Attorney General or designees, is final upon acceptance by the claimant. 
Acceptance is a complete release by claimant of any claim against the 
United States by reason of the same subject manner. Claimant's 
acceptance of an advance payment does not have the same effect.
    (2) The claimant's acceptance of an award or settlement made under 
the provisions governing the administrative settlement of Federal tort 
claims or the civil action provisions of 28 U.S.C. 1346(b) also 
constitutes a complete release of any claim against any employee of the 
Government whose act or omission gave rise to the claim.
