[Reimbursement of Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board Members]

The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board requested a decision as to whether Board members could receive pay for a full day while on Board business regardless of the actual number of hours they worked. GAO held that the enabling statute did not provide for any other terms of reimbursement except for the daily rate of basic pay. Accordingly, the Board should reimburse the members for a full day.
