Swartout, DIGEST; 2, 3. A retired Air Force chief master sergeant requests reimbursement for excess trans- portation costs deducted fromhts retire- mentpay, The costs were incurred-when he shipped his mobile home from his duty station in Massachusetts, to his home in Michigan, The claim is denied since debts of enlisted members of the Air Force, which accrued during active duty, may not be remitted or cancelled by the Secretary of the Air Force under 10 U.SC, S 9837(d), after the member has retired, GAO has no authority to remit debts or reimburse alaimants for the collection of debts validly owed to and collected by the Air Force from retired members who incurred excess transportation costs while on active duty, Member was advised that he would have to pay the entire amount of his debt to the Air Force before he could file a claim with GAO, The information was erroneous since this Office has the authority to settle and adjust all chims and demands by the Government or against it and those claims which contain elements of doubt as to the amount and validity of the Government's claim are required to be submitted to GAO. Member may be reimbursed for a wrecker service charge where the statement of a witness corroborates his contention that the carrier was negligent and the charges Jhould not have been billed to and paid by the Government.
