2-1400 Exhibit 2: Sample Letter Conveying Proposed Termination
Dear CLAIMANT NAME:
Under the provisions of the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq.) and the
program's regulations (20 C.F.R. 10.1 et seq.), we propose to terminate your compensation payments for
wage loss on account of the injury identified above. The basis for this action is described in the Notice of
Proposed Decision dated May 10, 1996, a copy of which is enclosed. Also enclosed is a copy of the report
of Dr. William Jones dated April 4, 1996, which serves as the basis for the proposed termination.
If you disagree with the proposed action, you may submit additional evidence or argument relevant to the
issue described in the Notice.
Send any such evidence or argument to this office within 30 days of the date of this letter. We will not
terminate your compensation during this 30-day period, but if no response is received within 30 days, we
will terminate your compensation at that time.
Under the regulations of the Office of Personal Management (OPM), an employee who recovers from a
compensable injury within one year is entitled to be restored to the job held when injured, or equivalent.
Such an employee is expected to apply for reemployment with his or her agency immediately upon
recovery. An employee who takes more than one year to recover is entitled to priority consideration,
provided he or she applies for reemployment within 30 days after compensation ends.
You may obtain further information about these rights from your agency or the OPM. You may also wish
to contact your agency or the OPM for advice on continuing any health insurance and/or life insurance
coverage you may have.
Sincerely,
SENIOR CLAIMS EXAMINER
