Sec. 751.14  Partial payments.

    (a) Partial payments when hardship exists. When claimants need funds 
to feed, clothe, or house themselves and/or their families as a result 
of sustaining a compensable loss, the adjudicating authority may 
authorize a partial payment of an appropriate amount, normally one-half 
of the estimated total payment. When a partial payment is made, a copy 
of the payment voucher and all other information related to the partial 
payment shall be placed in the claim file. Action shall be taken to 
ensure the amount of the partial payment is deducted from the 
adjudicated value of the claim when final payment is made.
    (b) Marine hardship payments. The Marine claimant's Transportation 
Management Office (TMO) shall ensure compliance with all requirements of 
Sec. 751.14(a), and may request authority for payment by message from 
the Commandant of the Marine Corps (MHP-40).
    (c) Effect of partial payment. Partial payments are to be subtracted 
from the adjudicated value of the claim before payment of the balance 
due. Overpayments are to be promptly recouped.
