Dear Sir:

     We have completed our review
under the provisions of 10J U.S.C.
tion of' -Milit-ary Re-cords1'


of /t-he-              eeerdcreer
155q by the Air Force B4r-d-for h-0rc
         Accoo4iy   -  rtva


     Under 10 U.S.C. 1552, the Secretary of a Military Department may correct
any military record of that Department when he considers it necessary to
correct an error or to remove an injustice.  The Departments are authorized
to make payments to the claimants in accordance with the records as corrected.

     The purpose of our review was to determine the correctness of the pay-
ments made by the Air Force Accounting and Finance Center on the basis of
the corrected military records.

     We reviewed 126 randomly selected cases from approximately 1300 correc-
tion of records cases on file at the Special Accounts Division, most of which
were settled during the period November 1975 through May 1976. We found that
10, or 7.9 percent, of the 126 cases were incorrectly settled because:


- -pay and allowances due claimants
   were omitted from the payment made

- -claimant had been previously paid

- -no settlement was made for amounts due

- -payment was based on the wrong basic
   pay rate

estimate, with 95 percent confidence, that the number of cases
incorrectly during the period of our review range from 58 to 177,
incorrect amount is between $4,400 and $23,400.
