[Decision Concerning NLRB Schedule C Employee's Claim for Reimbursement of Cost of Private Life and Health Insurance Premiums]

The National Labor Relations Board requested a decision regarding reimbursing a temporary Schedule C employee for private life and health insurance premiums that she paid while she was erroneously excluded from federal employee life and health insurance benefits. GAO held that there was no authority to reimburse the claimant for her out-of-pocket expenses resulting from such errors. Accordingly, the claim was denied.
