122.2The maximum and minimum limits on compensation included in section 2333 of the Act shall be determined by following the federal general pay scale when using section 5332 of title 5 of the United States Code, and by following the non-union, District career service (general) pay scale when using the District pay scale.
122.3A beneficiary or beneficiaries receiving death benefits are not entitled to continuation of pay pursuant to § 109 of this chapter.
122.4 When a beneficiary begins to receive compensation under this section, the Program shall notify the beneficiary of the condition(s) under which death benefits may cease, including upon the beneficiary’s marriage, re-marriage, or entering into a domestic partnership, or upon the beneficiary’s reaching eighteen (18) years of age, pursuant to section 2333 of the Act.
122.5On a regular basis, the Program may require a beneficiary to confirm his or her marital or domestic partnership status and age, and the Program may conduct any investigation necessary pursuant to § 102 to confirm this information. Any beneficiary receiving death benefits under this section shall cooperate with such investigation by providing all relevant information that the Program requests and by notifying the Program when his or her eligibility for benefits under this section changes. Failure to notify the Program when his or her eligibility for benefits under this section changes may result in the Program initiating overpayment proceedings pursuant to § 142 of this chapter.
