Highlights
An individual claimed arrears of retired pay due her father-in-law at the time of his death, contending that the three checks represented the only funds available to take care of personal obligations. The settlement of accounts of deceased armed forces members is provided for in 10 U.S.C. 2771, but the claimant did not qualify as heir to the separate property of the deceased, and her claim was properly denied.
