paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this section:

    (a) The Attorney General has determined that the claimant is a 

covered uranium employee who is entitled to payment of $100,000 as 

compensation due under section 5 of RECA for a claim made under that 

statute (there is, however, no requirement that the claimant or 

surviving eligible beneficiary has actually received payment pursuant to 

RECA). If a deceased employee's survivor has been determined to be 

entitled to such an award, his or her survivor(s), if any, will only be 

entitled to EEOICPA compensation in accordance with section 7384u(e) of 

the Act.

    (b) The covered uranium employee has been diagnosed with an injury, 

illness, impairment or disease that arose as a consequence of the 

medical condition for which he or she was determined to be entitled to 

payment of $100,000 as compensation due under section 5 of RECA.
