To the Estate of «ClaimantFullName»

Dear «Salutation»:

On behalf of the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, please accept our condolences on the death of «ClaimantFullName».  It appears that additional money was due at the time of the death because the claimant had claimed disability compensation prior to death.

Before we can determine the amount due or to whom it should be paid, all uncashed compensation checks must be returned to this office.  Also, the enclosed questionnaire should be completed by the administrator of the estate, if one has been appointed.  Otherwise, the next of kin should complete it.  The completed form should be sent to this office with a copy of the death certificate.

Unnecessary delays may be avoided if the information requested is furnished promptly and all payments made after the date of death are returned.  If you have any questions or require any assistance, please contact this office.

Sincerely,

If you have a disability and are in need of communication assistance, (such as alternate formats or sign language interpretation), accommodation(s) and/or modification(s), please contact OWCP.
