                      Subpart C_Continuation of Pay

 

Sec.  10.223  Are there other circumstances under which OWCP will not 

authorize payment of COP?



    When OWCP finds that an employee or his or her representative 

refuses or obstructs a medical examination required by OWCP, the right 

to COP is suspended until the refusal or obstruction ceases. COP already 

paid or payable for the period of suspension is forfeited. If already 

paid, the COP may be charged to annual or sick leave or considered an 

overpayment of pay consistent with 5 U.S.C. 5584.
