(Supp. IV 1986), may be paid since the employing agency made a determination of death, which is supported by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction, and such finding is conclusive on all other agencies.

McCully under the Missing Persons Act 5 U.S.C. SS 5561-5570 et seq. (Supp. IV 1986), on the basis that the claim was too doubtful. Our Claims Group's determination is overruled since the agency made a determination of death which is supported by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction, and such finding is conclusive on all other agencies.
