    DECISION                 OF THE UNITED        STATES

 .MATTER OF- Joe Marvin (Deceased), Rec6 sidered~


    DIGEST:

        A claim for the unpaid compensation of a
        deceased employee filed by his daughter on
        behalf of herself and her brother and
        sister of the whole blood was previously
        denied because of insufficient evidence
        that they were the legal beneficiaries of
        the claimed pay and that they constituted
        the entire class of individuals entitled
        to the payment. Although the issues then
        in doubt are unresolved, the other
        potential beneficiaries have failed to
        file claims for the unpaid compensation
        within 3 years of the former employee's
        death. Under the rule stated at 4 C.F.R.
        § 33.6(d) payment of the claim may be
        issued to the deceased employee's children
        on whose behalf the claim has been filed.

     This action is in response to a request for recon-

(Deceased), B-207143, December 30, 1982. In that decision,
the claim of the deceased employee's daughter, Josephine
Marvin Smith, on behalf of herself, her brother, Joe Marvin
III, and her sister, Dorothy J. Marvin Thomas, for their
father's unpaid compensation was disallowed because of the
insufficiency of evidence necessary to give the Government a
good acquittance in the settlement of the claim. Since the
time specified for the other potential claimants to file
claims has passed and no such claims have been filed the
deceased employee's unpaid compensation may be paid in equal
shares to his children on whose behalf the present claim is
now filed.

     When we first considered Mrs. Smith's claim for her
deceased father's unpaid compensation, evidence of record
showed that in 1960 Mr. Marvin had represented that he was
married to Mary Jean Jackson on March 5, 1949, in
Montgomery, Alabama. Although evidence was presented by
Mrs. Smith, through her attorney, that there is no official
state record of the marriage of Joe Marvin and Mary Jean
Jackson between 1946 and 1981, the facts in the case gave
