handle is hein.gao/gaobadmoa0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matterof: General Ira C. Eaker, USAF (Retired) and General James H. Doolittle, USAF (Retired) File: B-224142 Date: November 28, 1986 DIGEST Two retired officers of the Air Force were advanced from the grade of lieutenant general to general on the retirement lists. When retired service members are advanced in grade on the retirement lists, their retired pay may not be recalcu- lated to reflect their advancement in the absence of statu- tory authority directing a recalculation. In this case, there does not appear to be an Act of Congress authorizing a recalculation of the officers' retired pay, nor does it appear that an increase in their pay was ever intended to result from their advancement on the retirement lists. In these circumstances the Comptroller General is unable to con- clude that they are eligible for an increase in the rate of their retired pay. DECISION This action is in response to a request for a decision received from Major Glenn H. Harrison, Accounting and Finance Division, Air Force Accounting and Finance Center, on the question of whether General Ira C. Eaker, USAF (Retired), and General James H. Doolittle, USAF (Retired), are eligible to have their military retired pay recomputed at higher rates on the basis of their advancement on the retired list of the Air Force from the grade of lieutenant general to the grade of general in April 1985.1/ We conclude that these officers are not eligible for a recornputation of their retired pay, in the circumstances presented. 1/ The request for a decision in this matter was forwarded here by the Office )f the Comptroller of the Air Force after it was approved by the Department of Defense military Pay and Allowance Committee and assijried control number DO-AF-1466. 037497
