32 C.F.R. § 751.14 Partial payments.
Title 32 - National Defense
(a) Partial payments when hardship exists. When claimants need funds to feed, clothe, or house themselves and/or their families as a result of sustaining a compensable loss, the adjudicating authority may authorize a partial payment of an appropriate amount, normally one-half of the estimated total payment. When a partial payment is made, a copy of the payment voucher and all other information related to the partial payment shall be placed in the claim file. Action shall be taken to ensure the amount of the partial payment is deducted from the adjudicated value of the claim when final payment is made. (b) Marine hardship payments. The Marine claimant's Transportation Management Office (TMO) shall ensure compliance with all requirements of §751.14(a), and may request authority for payment by message from the Commandant of the Marine Corps (MHP–40). (c) Effect of partial payment. Partial payments are to be subtracted from the adjudicated value of the claim before payment of the balance due. Overpayments are to be promptly recouped.
