This action is in response to the claim of Major Jeffrey Rzossmann, USA, for reimbursement of $25 representing charges for the handling of insufficient fund checks be ut to th. failurc. of th epartment of the Army to forward his military pay directly to his bank. The claimant indicates that on January 21, 1975, he extended his active duty status to indefinite, thus voiding his normal expiration of military service which would otherwise have occurred. Apparently, this extension of active duty was not properly processed with the United States Army Finance Office with the result that his pay was stopped and deposit of his pay in the First National Bank of Alameda, California, was not accomplished on June 15, 1975, as he expected. The claimant indicates that his May 30, 1975 JUMPS pay statement stated that it was his last pay before discharge and that shortly thereafter he talked to a sergeant in the Personnel Division about his pay. He was apparently advised that the problem would be taken care of. Nevertheless corrective action was apparently not taken in time to permit his June mid-month pay to be issued and no deposit was sent to his bank at that time. Because his pay was not deposited as he expected five of claimant's checks were not honored by the bank because of insuf- ficient funds on June 19 and 20, 1975. Claimant contends that since these charges were occasioned by the negligence of Letterman Army Medical Center, Personnel Division, in failing to send proper notice of his extension of service to the Army Finance Center, he is entitled to reimbursement thereof.
