Highlights

The Assistant Director of the Division of Check Claims of the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Government Financial Operations referred to GAO's Claims Division the claim of Virginia Waatti for one-half of the proceeds of a Treasury check payable to her and her former husband, Irving J. Waatti. The former husband admitted having the claimant's endorsement forged. The valid endorsements of both copayees were required for negotiation of the check. Reclamation proceeds should be held until the competing claims of the husband and wife are resolved by them.
