Mansfield - Claim for Payment under Administration on Aging Grant Matterof: B-226439 File: Date: July 31, 1987 DIGEST Claim against Administration on Aging (AOA) by former employee of grantee is denied where there is no contract between agency and former grantee employee upon which to base agency liability, nor is the grantee an agent of the agency for purposes of holding the federal government liable for the actions of the grantee.
