                         SUBCHAPTER I--GENERALLY
 
Sec. 8106. Partial disability

    (a) If the disability is partial, the United States shall pay the 
employee during the disability monthly monetary compensation equal to 
66\2/3\ percent of the difference between his monthly pay and his 
monthly wage-earning capacity after the beginning of the partial 
disability, which is known as his basic compensation for partial 
disability.
    (b) The Secretary of Labor may require a partially disabled employee 
to report his earnings from employment or self-employment, by affidavit 
or otherwise, in the manner and at the times the Secretary specifies. 
The employee shall include in the affidavit or report the value of 
housing, board, lodging, and other advantages which are part of his 
earnings in employment or self-employment and which can be estimated in 
money. An employee who--
        (1) fails to make an affidavit or report when required; or
        (2) knowingly omit or understates any part of his earnings;

forfeits his right to compensation with respect to any period for which 
the affidavit or report was required. Compensation forfeited under this 
subsection, if already paid, shall be recovered by a deduction from the 
compensation payable to the employee or otherwise recovered under 
section 8129 of this title, unless recovery is waived under that 
section.
    (c) A partially disabled employee who--
        (1) refuses to seek suitable work; or
        (2) refuses or neglects to work after suitable work is offered 
    to, procured by, or secured for him;

is not entitled to compensation.
