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 asked the Navy for a formal briefing on the corrective actions it has taken as a result of an earlier report on the Navy Joint Uniform Military Pay System. The briefing revealed that major changes must be made to the system to eliminate the manual calculation of pay by local disbursing officers, reduce the override rate, improve the timeliness of input data affecting pay, and refine the accuracy of the master pay accounts. However, changes to correct these problems are not scheduled until 1985. Therefore, with major problems remaining unresolved, GAO withdrew its approval of the system.
