Rogers Directorate for Debt and Claims Management DFAS -- Indianapolis Center Attn: FYL-W Mail Stop 91 8899 East 56th Street Indianapolis, Indiana 46249-0885 Dear Colonel Rogers: This is in response to the appeal of Mr. from that portion of our Claims Group action which, solely on jurisdictional grounds, declined to consider for waiver $3,390.68 of educational transportation allowances which the Department of the Army expended on behalf of his two dependent sons prior to December 28, 1985.1 For the following reasons, we find that these educational transportation allowances were allowable, and that Mr. is not indebted to the government for those expenditures. Thus, there are no erroneous payments which need to be waived.2 In 1984, the Army assigned Mr. and several other civilian employees and military personnel with authorized dependents to its United States Military Training Mission (USMTM or Army Mission) in Saudi Arabia. Since there were no Department of Defense Dependent Schools (DODDS) high schools available within Saudi Arabia, the employees' command-sponsored minor dependents in grades 10 through 12 were enrolled, through DODDS, in schools outside that country. The Army Mission arranged for the transportation of the dependents which they were required to use. In Mr. case, the Army Mission paid a total amount of $33,314.64 for his two sons' education allowances and educational transportation allowances in the 1984-85 school year, and $34,984.78 for the same in the 1985-86 school year 'Z-2904115, Apr. 27, 1990. 2Our findings with respect to Mr. appear to be also applicable to Mr. If so, he also would not be indebted to the government.
