2-1300 Exhibit 1: Sample <strong>of</strong> Initial Response <strong>Letter</strong> to Claimant who Inquires About<br />

Lump-Sum Disability Payment<br />

Dear CLAIMANT NAME:<br />

I am writing in response to your inquiry concerning receipt <strong>of</strong> a lump-sum payment <strong>of</strong> wage-loss benefits<br />

in your case under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (<strong>FECA</strong>).<br />

Pursuant to regulations governing the administration <strong>of</strong> the <strong>FECA</strong> at 20 CFR 10.422, lump-sum payments<br />

<strong>of</strong> wage-loss compensation are no longer considered. The rule states that the Director has determined<br />

that lump-sum payments will no longer be made for benefits under sections 8105 and 8106. See 20 CFR<br />

10.422(a).<br />

Although no lump-sum payments are made under the <strong>FECA</strong> for wage-loss benefits, please note that<br />

monthly compensation benefits will continue for the period <strong>of</strong> your entitlement.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

CLAIMS EXAMINER<br />

<strong>FECA</strong>-<strong>PT2</strong> Printed: 06/08/2010 596
