Samuel Pavone and Robert Wilgus File: B-222948 Date: January 9, 1987 DIGEST 1. Claims received in the General Accounting Office (GAO) more than 6 years after they accrue are barred from consider- ation. Where claims for hazardous duty differentials were received in GAO on April 28, 1986, portions of the claims that accrued prior to April 29, 1980, cannot be considered for payment notwithstanding that they may have been filed earlier in the administrative office concerned. 2. Where employees' supervisor states that they were assigned to perform hazardous duty at Yuma Proving Ground and there is evidence showing that the employees actually traveled to Yuma and participated in test firings conducted on a range designated by regulation as hazardous, GAO cannot conclude that the determination made by the employees' agency to pay timely hazardous duty differential claims was arbitrary and capricious or erroneous. DECISION A certifying officer requests an advance decision to resolve the question of whether two employees of the Department of the Army may be paid hazardous pay differentials for various periods of temporary duty between 1975 and 1982.1/ We are barred from considering any claims that accrued prior to April 29, 1980, which is 6 years before the claims were received in the General Accounting Office; however, claims that accrued after April 28, 1980, may be allowed. 1/ The requestor is the Finance and Accounting Officer for Headquarters, U.S. Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command, Dover, New Jersey. 0-5-771I
