Goebel - Claim Under Uniformed Services Savings Deposit Program File: B-241343 Date: November 7, 1990 DECISION This is in response to an appeal of a Claims Group determina- tion denying Robert M. Goebel's claim for $600, which had been deducted from his pay over 3 months while he was in the Army for deposit in the Uniformed Services Savings Deposit Program (Program). For the reasons presented below, the claim, with appropriate interest, may be paid. Congress enacted the Uniformed Services Savings Deposit Program in 1966. See Pub. L. No. 89-538, § 1(1), 80 Stat. 347, codified at 10 U.S.C. § 1035; and Exec. Order No. 11,298, Aug. 14, 1966. Money deposited in the Program by military personnel was deposited in the Treasury in a separate fund for the benefit of the depositor. The Program paid 10 percent interest compounded quarterly on savings deposited by military personnel who were permanently stationed outside the United States; principal and interest were to be paid to a member upon his return.l/ Mr. Goebel, who separated from the Army in November 1969, states that in July 1969 he authorized a class S allotment of $200 per month to be deducted from his earnings beginning in August of that year for deposit in the Program. (Class S allotments are only for deposits.) To support his claim, Mr. Goebel has provided a copy of the allotment authorization form and his earnings statements for August through November 1969. Mr. Goebel's August 1969 statement shows that a class S allotment of $200 was deducted from his earnings; according co the earnings statements for September and October, $200 also was deducted in each of those months, although the allotment was identified as a class E allotment on those statements. 1/ Although the law still appears in the United States Code, the Program was phased out for most members in June 1974 because money ceased to be appropriated to pay the interest.
