Subject to succeeding provisions of this section, this title and the amendments made by this title— shall take effect on the date of enactment of this Act; and shall apply with respect to any injury or death occurring before, on, or after such date of enactment. No compensation shall be payable, by virtue of the enactment of this title— unless timely claim therefor is filed in accordance with the provisions of section 8122 or 8193 of title 5, United States Code (as applicable), and subsection (c); or with respect to any period commencing before the date of enactment of this Act.
In the case of an original claim for compensation for a disability or death that occurred before the date of enactment of this Act (and which would not otherwise be payable, but for the enactment of the amendments made by this title)— such claim shall not be allowed if, as of such date of enactment, a claim based on such disability or death would no longer be timely (determined in accordance with such section 8122 or 8193 (as applicable), before the application of paragraph (2)); and the timeliness of any such claim, if not precluded by paragraph (1), shall be determined— by applying the provisions of such section 8122 or 8193 (as applicable); and as if the time limitations of such section 8122 or 8193 (as applicable) did not begin to run until the date on which the provisions of section 2502(a) of title 5, United States Code (as added by section 101 of this Act) become effective.
No recovery shall be made of compensation paid to any individual whose entitlement to compensation is terminated or reduced as a result of the enactment of this title.
