Nabil, Director Defense Finance and Accounting Service Denver Center 6760 E. Irvington Place Denver, Colorado 80279 Dear Mr. Nabil: This responds to your January 29, 1996, request for relief of liability for four accountable officers for two improper payments totalling $5,513.74. The improper payments were made on two separate occasions at Moody Air Force Base Defense Accounting Office, Georgia, based on fraudulent Do It Yourself Move (DITY) papers. For the reasons discussed below, we grant the requested relief. The first improper payment occurred on August 1, 1994, when Sergeant First Class (SFC) Robert J. Lamb went to the 347th Comptroller Squadron, Moody Air Force Base Traffic Management Office (TMO) and requested paperwork for a DITY move. Based upon fraudulent orders presented by SFC Lamb calling him to active duty, Ms. Nancy Yates, personal property counselor at TMO, assisted SFC Lamb in the preparation of DD Form 2278, Application for Do-It-Yourself Move. The orders presented appeared to be authentic and valid. Upon completion of the form with the proper signatures, SFC Lamb went to the Moody Air Force Base finance office and gave the DD Form 2278, along with a copy of his orders, to Ms. Maureen Frazier, a travel pay technician. Ms. Frazier reviewed the form and orders checking for the requisite signatures and fund citations. The appropriate information was entered in the Integrated Automated Travel System (IATS) and the voucher authorizing payment was forwarded to Ms. Maureen Corpus, the cashier in Paying and Collecting, for payment. Ms. Corpus verified SFC Lamb's military identification and his signature and paid SFC Lamb the advance cash payment of $3,613.74. The second improper payment was on September 28, 1994, when SFC Lamb again went to the Moody Air Force Base finance office and presented what appeared to 22386
