83.21. On receiving an application for compensation, the Société may pay an indemnity even before rendering its decision on entitlement to the indemnity if it is of the opinion that the application appears prima facie to be well founded.
Notwithstanding section 83.50, if the Société subsequently dismisses the application or grants it only in part, the amount already paid shall not be recoverable unless it was obtained through fraud.
