 Subpart F_Reduction for Workers' Compensation and Disability Benefits 

              Under a Federal, State, or Local Law or Plan

 

Sec.  226.70  General.





    For any month an employee disability annuitant is entitled to 

workers' compensation or a public disability benefit, the tier I benefit 

of the spouse or divorced spouse is reduced due to receipt of such 

benefits. (If both spouse and divorced spouse annuities are payable, the 

reduction amount is divided and applied in equal amounts to both the 

spouse and divorced spouse tier I benefits.) The employee tier I is 

reduced by the difference between the total reduction amount, described 

in Sec.  226.71 of this part, and the reduction in the spouse and 

divorced spouse tier I benefits.
