Rodrigues - Claim for Overtime and Travel Expenses DIGEST: 1. A former employee of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board claims entitle- ment to travel and other overtime compensation during calendar years 1969, 1970, and 1971. The claims, which were apparently filed with his agency in 1972, were not received in the General Accounting office until February 15, 1977. Therefore, that portion of the claims arising before February 15, 1971, may not be con- sidered since 31 U.S.C. 5 3702(b)(1) (1982) (formerly 31 U.S.C. S 71a), bars consideration of a claim pre- sented to GAO more than 6 years after the date the claim accrued. Further, filing with an administrative office does not satisfy the requirement of the barring act. Frederick C. Welch, 62 Comp. Gen. 80 (198). 2. A former employee of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board claims entitle- ment to travel and other overtime compensation for calendar year 1971. The claim which was received in the General Accounting Office on February 15, 1977, is not barred from consideration for the period after February 15, 1971. However, the claim is disallowed since, in the intervening period between the performance of the duty claimed and the date the claim was presented to GAO for consideration, the records necessary to establish or refute the claim have been lost or destroyed. In the absence of such government records, the burden of proof is on the claimant, and he has not furnished any documentation of his entitlement to payment.
