Gibson, USAFR, Retired File: B-223734 Date: October 21, 1986 DIGEST 1. A member of the Air Force Reserve was transferred to the Retired Reserve in 1966 upon reaching age 60 without receiving credit for a claimed 9-year service period from July 1943 to April 1952. His claim for pay and allowances for this 9-year period was first received in the General Accounting Office in March 1986. His claim for .pay and allowances may n' be con- sidered, since it accrued no later than the date of.his trans-* fer to the Retired Reserve, and the Barring Act, 31 U.S.C. - § 3702(b), bars consideration of claims received in the Gen- eral Accounting Office more than 6 years after they have accrued. 2.
