O.C. 20548 FILE: B-197513 DATE: September 24, 1980 MAATTER OF: Petty Officer James K. Boatman, USN DIGEST: Service member received BAQ at the with dependent, rate due to adminis- trative error during a period he and his dependents occupied Government quarters. Member questioned the accuracy of his pay and informed the disbursing officer that he was residing in Government quarters. Waiver may be granted for period in which he did not receive his regular leave and earnings statements (LES). However, waiver may not be granted for the period in which he regularly received an LES since they plainly indicated that he was being paid BAQ and he failed to question the accuracy of his pay after he began receiving them. Petty Officer James K. Boatman, United States Navy, requests reconsideration of our Claims Division's denial of his application for waiver of the claim of the United States against him resulting from erroneous payments made to him of a basic allowance for quarters (BAQ) during the period from January 13, 1976, through November 10, 1977, when he and his family were residing in rent-free Government quarters. For the following reasons the claim against Petty Officer Boatman may be partially waived. On January 13, 1976, while stationed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Petty Officer Boatman was assigned to Government quarters. An Assignment to Government Quarters form was prepared by an officer of the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard for Petty Officer Boatman and was sent to the Navy Finance Office, Philadelphia. Through an administrative error this form was never received by the correct payroll clerk and Petty Officer Boatman's credit for BAQ 5r%7
