GIOI THE COMPTROLUR NRAL OFi THE UNITED STATE WASHINGTON 0, 0, 2o0548 FILE: B-203638 DATE; December 23, 1981 MATTER OF; Lloyd X, Smith -Claim Against the FILLBB DIGEBTi 1. Federal Home Loan Dank Board (FflLE%) has no statutory authority to Elue and be sued, and thus, except under limited statutory authority for matters related to acquisition and maintenance of its headquarters building, does not have claims settlemeift i uthority independent of that provided the General Accounting Office by 31 U,S,C. 5 71 to settle and adjust all clairs by and iagainst the Government, Accordingly, authority to settle claim against FHL2B on quantum reruit grounds for compensation and expenses related to consulting services provided FtILBB rests with this Office, See statutes and Comptroller General decisicns cited. 2. Claim against FILBB for compensation and expenses related to consulting services provided to FHLeB is disallowed as doubt- ful claim because, based on the particular facts of case, it is impossible under a quantum ireruit theory to determine whether the Government received any benefit. Introduction qie General Counsel of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (PdiLBB) requests an advance decision concerning the claim of Mr. Lloyd X. Smith. Mro Smith claims compensation and expenses for consulting ser- vices he provided to the FHLEB without a formal contract, Initially, the FILUB asks whether the Bank Board or GAO has Eettlement authority in this case. Based on our finding that settlement authority rests with this Office, we have proceeded to consider the merits of Mr. Smith's claim against the FHLBB. It is our conclusion that due to the impossibility of accurately determining the value, if any, of Mr. Smith's services to the Bank Board, no proper basis for payment has been established.
