C. 20548 1NZIT FILE: B-219738 DATE: April 16, 1986 MATTER OF: Department of Education--Compromise Settlement with Pan American Financial Corporation DIGEST: Settlement agreement between the Department of Education and a claimant should not be paid because the claimant has abrogated the agreement and filed a complaint in the Claims Court. This decision is in response to a request from Ms. Serena Smith, an authorized certifying officer of the Department of Education. Ms. Smith requests our decision as to the propriety of payment of a $10,000 settlement to Pan American Financial Corporation (PAFC). The settlement is a compromise of a $12,605.68 claim made by PAFC against the Department of Educa- tion. The claim arose when Education paid certain contract proceeds to the contractor-assignor rather than to PAFC, the assignee. As we understand it, PAFC has now abrogated the settlement agreement and filed a complaint in the United States Claims Court. As a result, any question of administrative settlement of the claim is now moot. Therefore, the $10,000 voucher should not be paid. omptrolle G neral f the United States
