§4109 Hearings on Claims; Finality of Decision

Summary

The Commission must tell each claimant if their claim is approved or denied. If it is approved, the Commission must say how much will be paid. If a claim is denied or paid for less than the full amount, the claimant can ask for a hearing under rules the Commission makes. The hearing will be before the Commission or its representatives, and after the hearing the Commission can keep, change, or reverse its earlier decision, including cutting or denying a previously allowed amount. The Commission’s decision on claims under this subchapter is final on all legal and factual questions and cannot be reviewed by any other U.S. official or by any court, including by mandamus or any other method. The Comptroller General must allow accounting credit for payments made according to the Commission’s decision in the accounts of any certifying or disbursing officer.
