  (4) In accordance with the provisions of law, documents, and instruments governing the retirement program to the extent that the documents and instruments are consistent with this chapter.
(b) In addition to any liability which he may have under any other provision of this section, a fiduciary with respect to the Trust shall be liable for a breach of fiduciary responsibility of another fiduciary with respect to the Trust:

  (3) If he has knowledge of a breach of fiduciary responsibility by the other fiduciary, unless he makes reasonable efforts under the circumstances to remedy the breach.
(c) Except as provided in subsections (f), (g), and (h) of this section, a fiduciary with respect to the Trust shall not cause the Trust to engage in a transaction, if he knows or should know that the transaction constitutes a direct or indirect:

(e) A transfer of real or personal property by a party in interest shall be treated as a sale or exchange if the property is subject to a mortgage or similar lien which the Trust assumes or if it is subject to a mortgage or similar lien which a party in interest placed on the property within the 10-year period ending on the date of the transfer.
(f) The prohibitions provided in subsection (c) of this section shall not apply to any of the following transactions:
  (1) Contracting or making reasonable arrangements with a party in interest for office space, or legal, accounting, or other services necessary for the establishment or operation of the Trust, if no more than reasonable compensation is paid for it;

The ancillary services shall not be provided for more than reasonable compensation;
  (4) The exercise of a privilege to convert securities, but only if the Trust receives no less than adequate consideration pursuant to the conversion; or

Status: in_force

(a) When the Mayor finds that the amount of compensation payable to an employee who is neither a citizen nor resident of the United States or Canada, or payable to a dependent of such an employee, is substantially disproportionate to compensation for disability or death payable in similar cases under local statute, regulations, custom, or otherwise at the place outside the continental United States or Canada where the employee is working at the time of injury, he or she may provide for payment of compensation on a basis reasonably in accord with prevailing local payments in similar cases by:
  (1) The adoption or adaption of the substantive features, by a schedule or otherwise, of local workmen’s compensation provisions or other local statute, regulation, or custom applicable in cases of personal injury or death; or
  (2) Establishing special schedules of compensation for injury, death and loss of use of members and functions of the body for specific classes of employees, areas, and place. Irrespective of the basis adopted, the Mayor may at any time:
    (A) Modify or limit the maximum monthly and total aggregate payments for injury, death, and medical or other benefits;
    (B) Modify or limit the percentages of the wage of the employee payable as compensation for the injury or death; and

  (1) Make a lump sum award in the manner prescribed by § 1-623.35 when he or she, or his or her designee, considers it to be for the best interest of the District of Columbia government; and
  (2) Compromise and pay a claim for benefits, including a claim in which there is a dispute as to jurisdiction or other fact or a question of law. Compensation paid under this subsection is instead of all other compensation from the District of Columbia government for the same injury or death, and a payment made under this subsection is deemed compensation under this subchapter and satisfaction of all liability of the District of Columbia government in respect to the particular injury or death.
(c) The Mayor may delegate to an employee or agency of the District of Columbia government, with such limitations and right of review as he or she considers advisable, authority to process, adjudicate, commute by lump-sum award, compromise and pay a claim or class of claims for compensation, and to provide other benefits, locally, under this section, in accordance with such rules, regulations, and instructions as the Mayor considers necessary.

§ 1-623.29. Recovery of overpayments.
Status: in_force

(a) When an overpayment has been made to an individual under this subchapter because of an error of fact or law, under rules and regulations prescribed by the Mayor, either recovery of the overpayments shall be required of the individual or adjustment shall be made by decreasing later payments to which the individual is entitled.  If the individual dies before the adjustment is completed, an adjustment shall be made by decreasing later benefits payable under this subchapter with respect to the individual’s death.
(a-1) Before seeking to recover an overpayment or adjust benefits, the District government shall advise the individual in writing:
  (1) That the overpayment exists, and the amount of the overpayment;
  (2) That a preliminary finding shows that the individual either was or was not at fault in the creation of the overpayment;
  (3) That the individual has the right to inspect and copy government records relating to the overpayment; and
  (4) That the individual has the right to request a waiver of the adjustment or recovery and to present evidence that challenges the fact or amount of the overpayment or the preliminary finding that he or she was at fault in the creation of the overpayment.
(b) (1) Adjustment or recovery by the District government shall be waived when incorrect payment has been made to an individual who is without fault and recovery would defeat the purpose of this subchapter or would be against equity and good conscience.
  (2) (A) For the purposes of this subsection:
      (i) The term “at fault” means that an individual has made an incorrect statement as to a material fact that he or she knew or should have known to be incorrect; failed to provide information which he or she knew or should have known to be material; or accepted a payment which he or she knew or should have known to be incorrect.
      (ii) The term “without fault” means an individual is receiving benefits pursuant to a good faith dispute as to whether his or her medical condition entitles him or her to receive those benefits.
      (iii) The phrase “recovery would defeat the purpose of this subchapter” means that recovery would cause hardship to a current or former claimant or other beneficiary because he or she needs substantially all of his or her current income, including compensation to meet current ordinary and necessary living expenses which shall include:
        (I) Fixed living expenses such as food, housing, utilities, maintenance, insurance, and taxes;
        (II) Medical, hospitalization, and related expenses;
        (III) Expenses for the support of others for whom the individual is legally responsible; and
        (IV) Expenses that may be reasonably considered as part of the individual’s standard of living.
      (iv) The phrase “against equity and good conscience” means that recovery would cause severe financial hardship to an individual to make the overpayment.
    (B) The determination of whether an individual was at fault regarding an overpayment shall depend upon the totality of circumstances surrounding the overpayment including the complexity of those circumstances and the individual’s capacity to realize that he or she is being overpaid. The government shall consider all pertinent circumstances including the individual’s age, intelligence, and any physical, mental, educational, or linguistic limitations including any difficulty with the English language.
(b-1) (1) Before the District government may seek to recover an overpayment or adjust benefits, the government must allow the individual the opportunity to present evidence to the government in writing or at a pre-recoupment hearing. The evidence must be presented or the hearing requested within 30 days of the date of the written notice of the overpayment. The 30-day requirement can be waived for good cause including mental or physical incapacity of the individual or lack of timely receipt of the notice of adjustment or recoupment.
  (2) An individual shall be required to provide relevant information and documentation to support his or her claim of severe financial hardship or that the individual needs substantially all of his or her current income to meet current ordinary and necessary living expenses. Failure to submit the requested information within 30 days of the request shall result in denial of a request for a waiver and no further request for a waiver shall be considered until the requested information is furnished.
(c) A certifying or disbursing official is not liable for an amount certified or paid by him when:
  (1) Adjustment or recovery of the amount is waived under subsection (b) of this section; or
  (2) Adjustment under subsection (a) of this section is not completed before the death of all individuals against whose benefits deductions are authorized.
