MATTER OF:    Charles F. Standiford - etroactive
              Temporary Promotion and Backpay7-
              Detail to Higher Grade Positioi
DIGEST:
          1. Employee is entitled to retroactive
              temporary promotion after 120th day
              of detail to higher-level position
              for continuous period of detail.
              Although agency contends higher-
              level position was abolished during
              part of detail period, employee has
              submitted persuasive evidence to
              the contrary. We find position was
              a continuing one and that employee
              performed higher-level duties
              during entire period of detail.
              Therefore, employee is entitled to
              backpay under Turner-Caldwell deci-
              sions, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975) and
              56 Comp. Gen. 427 (1977).

          2. Agency submitted claim for backpay
              to General Accounting Office on
              December 5, 1977, and it was re-
              ceived on December 12, 1977. Under
              31 U.S.C. § 71a (1976), claim
              against the United States is barred
              unless presented to this office
              within 6 years from date claim ac-
              crues. Therefore, we may not con-
              sider any element of claim accruing
              before December 12, 1971.

     Mr. Charles F. Standiford, a retired employee of
the Department of Health and Human Services, formerly
Health, Education and Welfare, appeals the denial of
his claim for a retroactive temporary promotion and
backpay. Based on our Turner-Caldwell decisions,
55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975) and 56 Comp. Gen. 427 (1977),
he claims that he was detailed to a higher grade
position from June 22, 1970, to June 25, 1972. The
claim was first received in GAO on December 12, 1977.
