B-200838 1 (1981-04-21)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadjia0001 and id is 1 raw text is: DECISION 1) 7 J 4 THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. 0.C. 2054B FILE: B-200838 DATE: April 21, 1981 MATTER 0 DIGEST: F: Department of Army Employee - Fraudulent claim An employee on temporary duty submitted fraudulent lodging receipts in excess of what he actually rented an apart- ment for. He states that since he did incur expenses incident to his temporary duty, recoupment against him for 46 days of per diem should be reduced by other expenses he incurred which would other- wise have been allowed. Since fraudu- lent lodging receipts covered 46 days, reduction of the recoupment against him is denied as a fraudulent claim for lodgings will taint all other aspects of the subsistence or per diem claimed for the day for which a fraudulent lodgings claim was submitted. D. L. Swan, Disbursing Officer, Corps of Engineers, has forwarded an employee's request that the Comptroller General review recoupment action taken against him be- cause of his submission of a fraudulent claim. The record shows that the employee was sent on a temporary duty assignment from the Corps of Engineers Kansas City District to Mobile, Alabama, for the period from November 15, 1979, through January 29, 1980. At first, the employee lodged in a motel but for the period of December 3, 1979, through December 22, 1979, and January 2, 1980, through January 27, 1980, the employee stayed in an apartment. After being reimbursed for his temporary duty travel expenses*, the employee was noti- fied that the Corps of Engineers was recouping $1,610 because the employee had submitted fraudulent lodging receipts. The $1,610 represented per diem for 46 days at $35 a day for the periods covered by the fraudulent lodging receipts, December 2 through 22, 1979, and January 2, through 27, 1980. The employee has repaid the $1,610, but questions the recoupment as being excessive.
