So much of section 14 ofPublic Law 89–488 as redesignated section 43 of the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act as section 44 is omitted as unnecessary in view of the codification of that act in title 5, United States Code.
“Persons excluded by section 15 of the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act Amendments of 1966”, referred to in subsec. (c), means persons excluded by section 15 ofPub.

As a result section 15 of the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act Amendments of 1966 served to prohibit increases to persons to whom the benefits of the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act had been extended over the years by Acts described in subsec. (c) as follows:

For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Tables.
Public Law 80–896 (July 3, 1948), which extended coverage to certain persons entitled to war claims, is act July 3, 1948, ch. 826, 62 Stat. 1240, as amended, popularly known as the War Claims Act of 1948, which is classified generally to section 2001 et seq. of Title 50, Appendix, War and National Defense. For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 2001 of Title 50, Appendix, and Tables.
1980—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 96–499substituted “Compensation” for “Each month the Secretary of Labor shall determine the percent change in the price index. Effective the first day of the month which begins after the price index change equals a rise of at least 3 percent for 3 consecutive months over the price index for the latest base month, compensation”, “March 1 of each year shall be annually increased” for “that first day shall be increased” and “amount determined by the Secretary of Labor to represent the percent change in the price index published for December of the preceding year over the price index published for the December of the year prior to the preceding year,” for “percent rise in the price index (calculated on the highest level of the price index during the 3 consecutive months)”.
