In that letter we also advised you of our reviews in pro- gress of military dependent travel claims in the other services and stated that we would advise you of any additional matters which we felt should be brought to your attention. This is a report on our review of Air Force military dependent travel claims. Our findings have been discu sed with officials of the Air Force Accounting and Finance Center (AFAFC), Denver, Colorado. We reviewed a random sample of 1,654 military dependent travel vouchers paid by Air Force accounting and finance officers during the period December 1967 through March 1968. On the basis of information shown on the vouchers and obtained from allotment records, household 7)4 goods shipment records, and postal authorities, we identified 93 questionable cases, and referred them to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) in July and August 1969 for further investigation. The final report of the OSI investigations was furnished us by letter dated February 8, 1971. The investigations disclosed that in 24 of the cases, with payments totaling $4,348, the travel of dependents was not performed as claimed or was not performed for the purpose of establishing a bona fide residence, One additional case for $139 had been previously found to be erroneous by the Air Force. The average amount of the payments on these 25 claims was about $179. Information in the fiscal year 1969 Department of Defense military personnel hearings indicate that about 443,000 military dependent travel claims were paid by the Air Force during fiscal year 1968. Therefore, if the rate of occurrence disclosed by our review were to prevail throughout the 443,000 claims, we estimate approximately 6,700 improper claims in- volving about $1.2 million were paid by the Air Force during fiscal year 1968.
