in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

It's illegal to solicit a federal employee's workers'-compensation case for a fee, or to accept payment for helping with such a case, unless the Secretary of Labor approved the fee first. Breaking this rule can mean a fine or up to a year in prison.

You break this law if you solicit (seek out) work helping someone with a case, claim, or compensation award under a specific federal employee compensation law (subchapter I of chapter 81 of title 5). You also break this law if you accept a fee, other payment, or a gift for providing legal or other help with such a case, claim, or award — unless the Secretary of Labor approved that fee, payment, or gift in advance. For each violation, you can be fined under this title, or imprisoned for up to one year, or both.
