Highlights
A carrier requested a review of the Army's decision to set off revenues otherwise due it to recover for the loss and damage of a transferred member's household goods, contending that the set-off was improper, since the member's insurance company, not the government, was the actual beneficiary. GAO held that the Army properly: (1) set-off of the funds due the carrier; and (2) reimbursed the member's insurance company for the appropriate amount. Accordingly, the original decision was affirmed.
