Sec. 1261.312  Action on approved claims.



    (a) Upon settlement of a claim, the official designated in Sec. 

1261.308 will prepare and have executed by the claimant a Voucher for 

Payment of Tort Claims (NASA Form 616) if the claim has been acted upon 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 2473(c)(13), or a Voucher for Payment under 

Federal Tort Claims Act (Standard Form 1145) if the claim has been acted 

upon pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act. The form will then be 

referred to the cognizant NASA installation fiscal or financial 

management office for appropriate action.

    (b) When a claimant is represented by an attorney, both the claimant 

and attorney will be designated as ``payees'' on the voucher, and the 

check will be delivered to the attorney whose address shall appear on 

the voucher.

    (c) Acceptance by the claimant, agent, or legal representative, of 

any award, compromise, or settlement made pursuant to this subpart shall 

be final and conclusive on the claimant, agent or legal representative 

and any other person on whose behalf or for whose benefit the claim has 

been presented, and shall constitute a complete release of any claim 

against the United States and against any employee of the Government 

whose act or omission gave rise to the claim, by reason of the same 

subject matter.
