PART 30_CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION UNDER THE ENERGY EMPLOYEES OCCUPATIONAL 
 
                      Subpart A_General Provisions
 
Sec.  30.17  Is a beneficiary who defrauds the government in connection with a 

claim for EEOICPA benefits still entitled to those benefits?

    When a beneficiary either pleads guilty to or is found guilty on 
either federal or state criminal charges of defrauding the federal or a 
state government in connection with a claim for benefits under the Act 
or any other federal or state workers' compensation law, the beneficiary 
forfeits (effective the date either the guilty plea is accepted or a 
verdict of guilty is returned after trial) any entitlement to any 
further benefits for any injury, illness or death covered by this part 
for which the time of injury was on or before the date of such guilty 
plea or verdict. Any subsequent change in or recurrence of the 
beneficiary's medical condition does not affect termination of 
entitlement under this section.
