Money recovered from the fiduciary must be passed on promptly
What the document says“In any case in which the Secretary obtains recoupment from a fiduciary who has misused benefits, the Secretary shall promptly remit payment of the recouped amounts to the beneficiary or the beneficiary's successor fiduciary, as the case may be, to the extent that such amounts have not been paid under paragraph (1).”
Paragraph (3) of the new subsection (a). Where the Secretary does recover money from a fiduciary who misused benefits, the recovered amounts are to be remitted promptly to the beneficiary or the beneficiary's successor fiduciary, so far as those amounts have not already been paid over under paragraph (1).
What the document actually says“In any case in which the Secretary obtains recoupment from a fiduciary who has misused benefits, the Secretary shall promptly remit payment of the recouped amounts to the beneficiary or the beneficiary's successor fiduciary, as the case may be, to the extent that such amounts have not been paid under paragraph (1).”
