i. Pay Rates.<br />

(1)An enrollee receives an allowance for dependents and may also make an allotment from<br />

Job Corps pay. A copy <strong>of</strong> the allotment should be obtained from Center <strong>of</strong>ficials in any<br />

death case where dependency must be established to support a claim for death benefits.<br />

(2)In keeping with 5 U.S.C. 8134, if the death is employment-related, OWCP may pay up to<br />

$800 for funeral and burial expenses plus the cost <strong>of</strong> embalming and transporting the body<br />

in a hermetically sealed casket to the enrollee's home, as well as the $200 provided in 5<br />

U.S.C. 8133(f).<br />

(1) 5 U.S.C. 8101 and 5 U.S.C. 8114 do not apply to Job Corps enrollees.<br />

(2) Where the injury occurred prior to November 8, 1966, compensation is computed on a<br />

monthly pay <strong>of</strong> $150 in (a) all death cases and (b) any disability case where the enrollee<br />

had not reached the age <strong>of</strong> 21. After the enrollee reaches age 21, disability compensation<br />

must be computed on an annual pay rate <strong>of</strong> the entrance salary for GS-2.<br />

(3) Where the injury occurred after November 8, 1966, compensation is computed on an<br />

annual pay rate <strong>of</strong> the entrance salary for GS-2. (This figure will change any time the pay<br />

rates under the Classification Act <strong>of</strong> 1949 are amended.)<br />

(4) The minimum provisions <strong>of</strong> 5 U.S.C. 8112 and 5 U.S.C. 8133(e) do not apply to Job<br />

Corps enrollees.<br />

(5) 5 U.S.C. 8113 applies to these cases. Where so indicated, the pay rate may be<br />

redetermined in the same manner as any other Federal employee.<br />

7. D. C. Metropolitan Police Reserve Corps. D. C. Metropolitan Police Reservists are entitled to <strong>FECA</strong><br />

coverage if injured while serving in any sudden emergency (riot, pestilence, invasion, and insurrection)<br />

involving loss <strong>of</strong> life or property, or while serving on days <strong>of</strong> public election, ceremonies, or celebration.<br />

Each case will be considered on individual merit, and coverage will be extended only after careful study <strong>of</strong><br />

all pertinent evidence.<br />

a. Pay rate for compensation purposes for injuries occurring during sudden emergencies would be<br />

that comparable to a regular police <strong>of</strong>ficer <strong>of</strong> any rank whose duties most nearly resemble those <strong>of</strong><br />

the injured volunteer. In non-emergencies, pay is frozen at the level <strong>of</strong> a regular police private.<br />

b. Jurisdiction. Cases in this group will be developed and adjudicated in the Cleveland District<br />

Office (09).<br />

8. <strong>National</strong> Fisheries Observers<br />

a. Statutory Authority. Public Law 104-297, enacted on October 11, 1996, provides that<br />

observers on vessels that are under contract to carry out responsibilities under the<br />

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act or the Marine Mammal Protection<br />

Act <strong>of</strong> 1972 shall be deemed to be civil employees <strong>of</strong> the United States for the purposes <strong>of</strong><br />
