Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

GAO commented on proposed regulations concerning collection by offset from indebted Government employees, to be codified at 5 C.F.R. 550, Subpart K. While GAO favors omitting reference to waiver statutes that cover claims for erroneous payments, it does not object to retaining 5 C.F.R. 550.1102(a)(2) which governs waiver requests and claims that come before GAO. GAO expressed concern that the proposed regulations do not go far enough in excluding the recoupment of routine intra-agency administrative overpayments from the strict procedural requirements of the revised 5 U.S.C. 5514.
