Hines OIGEST: An employee served as juror in a State court of Bexar County, Texas. The state statute established a minimum payment of $6 and a maximum payment of $30 for each day or fraction of a day each juror serves while giving counties authorization to determine the amount paid for jurors. The employee is not entitled to travel expenses claimed in the amount credited against his pay for service as a juror under 5 U.S.C. 5 5515. A government employee entitled toleave for jury duty under 5 U.S.C. S 6322 was required by.S U.S.C. S 5515 to have an amount received from Bexar County, Texas, as fees for jury service credited against the employee's compensa- tion payable by the United States. We ar& asked whether the fees received may be retained by the employee if they were intended as a subsistence or travel expense allowance rather than pay for juror services.1 We conclude that the payment of the jury fee under the applicable Texas statute is properly creditable against pay pursuant to 5 U.S.C. S 5515. Mr. Glenell V.

Mr. Hines has requested a refund of the $90 deducted from his wages for services as juror. He contends chat the The Director, Accounting and Finance, Headquarters 12th Flying Training Wing (ATC), Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, submitted this request for a decision and it was forwarded through the Deputy Assistant Comptroller for Accounting and Finance, Headquarters United States Air Force, Washington, D.C.
