Version
(a) If the disability is partial, the United States shall pay the
employee during the disability monthly monetary compensation equal
to 66 2/3 percent of the difference between his monthly pay and his
monthly wage-earning capacity after the beginning of the partial
disability, which is known as his basic compensation for partial
disability.
(b) The Secretary of Labor may require a partially disabled
employee to report his earnings from employment or self-employment,
by affidavit or otherwise, in the manner and at the times the
Secretary specifies. The employee shall include in the affidavit or
report the value of housing, board, lodging, and other advantages
which are part of his earnings in employment or self-employment and
which can be estimated in money. An employee who--
(1) fails to make an affidavit or report when required; or
(2) knowingly omits or understates any part of his earnings;
forfeits his right to compensation with respect to any period for
which the affidavit or report was required. Compensation forfeited
under this subsection, if already paid, shall be recovered by a
deduction from the compensation payable to the employee or otherwise
recovered under section 8129 of this title, unless recovery is
waived under that section.
(c) A partially disabled employee who--
(1) refuses to seek suitable work; or
(2) refuses or neglects to work after suitable work is offered
to, procured by, or secured for him; is not entitled to
compensation.
