Employees'Benefits. Part702:Administration and procedure. SubpartC:Adjudication procedures. Section702.315:Conclusion of conference agreement on all matters with respect to the claim.
(a) Following an informal conference at which agreement is reached on all issues, the district director shall (within 10 days after conclusion of the conference), embody the agreement in a memorandum or within 30 days issue a formal compensation order, to be filed and mailed in accordance with §702.349. If either party requests that a formal compensation order be issued the district director shall, within 30 days of such request, prepare, file, and serve such order in accordance with §702.349. Where the problem was of such nature that it was resolved by telephone discussion or by exchange of written correspondence, the parties shall be notified by the same means that agreement was reached and the district director shall prepare a memorandum or order setting forth the terms agreed upon. In either instance, when the employer or carrier has agreed to pay, reinstate or increase monetary compensation benefits, or to restore or appropriately change medical care benefits, such action shall be commenced immediately upon becoming aware of the agreement, and without awaiting receipt of the memorandum or the formal compensation order.
