§10287 — Title 34 Navy | U.S. Code

Summary

On and after December 26, 2007, money that pays for appeals under section 1205(c) (including claims processing) can also be used for appeals under subpart 2 and under any law that pays the benefits described in subpart 1. The same money can pay for appeals from final Bureau decisions to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which has sole authority to hear those appeals. The funds also cover legal costs to defend hearing examiners for actions they take on the job, and those examiners are conclusively treated as having judicial-like immunity. Starting January 2, 2013, for each such law: 1) the rule in section 1001(a)(4) of title I (42 U.S.C. 3793(a)(4)) applies; 2) payments (consistent with section 10286) are made only after the Bureau finds the facts legally support the payment; and 3) any mention of section 1202 of title I means paragraphs (2) and (3) of that section.
