D.C. 20546 N20546 FILE: B-61 MATTER O DIGEST: 937 DATE: S fp ,91975 F: Recertification of dependency certificates - Military Pay and Allowance Committee Action No. 516 In view of the reasonable assurance that changes in dependency status for payment of basic allow- ance for quarters do not go undetected under the. Joint Uniform Military Pay System, the annual recertification of dependency certificates pre- scribed in 51 Comp. Gen. 231 (1971). as they relate to Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force mem- bers, no longer will be required, provided that adequate levels of internal audit are maintained. This action is in response to letter dated February 12, 1975, from the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), requesting authorization of the discontinuance of the requirement for annual ,recertification of primary dependents by Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force members receiving basic allowance for quarters (.zAQ) at the with dependent rate. The request was assigned Department of Defense Military Pay and Allowance Committee Action No. 516, a copy of which was enclosed with the Assistant Secretary's letter. The discussion in the Committee Action referred to our decision B-61937, dated August 6, 1974 (54 Comp. Gen. 92) which held that in view of the Army procedures for recertifying and verifying depend- ency for payment of BAQ under the Joint Uniform Hilitary Pay System (JUMPS), the annual recertification of dependency certificates pre- scribed by 51 Comp. Gen. 231 (1971), as they relate to Army members' primary dependents, no longer would be required. The Committee Action discussion states that the Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force Joint Uniform Military Pay Systems contain saiilar procedures that will provide reasonable assurance that changes in dependency status do not go undetected. The Marine Corps justification enclosed with the Committee Action indicates that Marine Corps JUMPS continuously audits all field records to insure agreement with the control-site master record. Further, a Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) prepared at and distributed by the Marine Corps Finance Center, Kansas City, Missouri, for every Marine on a monthly basis contains PUBIISHED DECISION 55 Comp.
