What rights does the United States have upon payment of compensation under the EEOICPA?
If an illness for which compensation is payable under the EEOICPA is caused, wholly or partially, by someone other than a federal employee acting within the scope of his or her employment, a DOE contractor, or subcontractor, a beryllium vendor or atomic weapons employer, the United States is subrogated for the full amount of any payment of compensation under the EEOICPA to any right or claim that the individual to whom the payment was made may have against any person or entity on account of such illness.
