handle is hein.gao/gaobabecx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ---~ I VO--U0wd REPORT BY THE U.S, General Accounting Office Military Services And VA Can Reduce Benefit Overpayments By Improving Exchange Of Pay Data Through Federal law, military retirees and survivors are often entitled to receive military retirement benefits and VA compensation concurrently. VA benefits, how- ever, must be deducted from any military benefits received. When they are not, overpayments result. GAO found that inadequacies in the Department of Defense and Veterans Administration interagency pay systems for making these benefit payments resulted in overpayments exceeding $6.6 million. Many overpay- ments were identified by reconciliation processes, but the military services did not adequately examine and correct the errors. To preclude further overpayments and to correct other deficiencies, GAO recommends that VA and the mili- tary services --develop and follow procedures, including auto- mated controls, to ensure the accurate and com- plete exchange of pay data between the agencies and --properly implement reconciliation procedures designed to identify and correct pay discrepancies. 121882 GAO/AFMD-83-39 JULY 12, 1983 n (),&15
