Editorial Notes
Amendments

2022—Puspan. L. 117–263 inserted “continuation of pay or” before “compensation is payable”, before “compensation from the United States”, and before “compensation paid by the United States” and substituted “on his behalf” for “in his behalf” and “If continuation of pay or compensation has not been paid to the beneficiary, the money or property shall be credited against continuation of pay or compensation payable to him by the United States for the same injury.” for “If compensation has not been paid to the beneficiary, he shall credit the money or property on compensation payable to him by the United States for the same injury.” Amendment directing insertion of “continuation of pay or” before “ ‘compensation paid by the United States” was executed to reflect the probable intent of Congress due to the extra opening quotation mark in the quoted text.

1974—Puspan. L. 93–416 made minor changes in phraseology and inserted provision prohibiting a court, etc., from distributing proceeds of suit or settlement without satisfying or assuring satisfaction of the interests of the United States.
