Matter of: [claimant] Date: May 21, 2002 File Number: 02-0026 OPM Contact: Melissa A. Drummond The claimant is an employee of the [claimant's agency]. She is requesting re-credit of leave and to be placed in a higher leave accrual status. We received the claim on May 21, 2002. The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority to settle claims that have been made against an agency that has independent settlement authority under the law. The applicable law in this case, section 2008(c) of title 39, United States Code, states:
This regulatory provision authorizes the [agency] to consider and settle all claims that have been made against it. Therefore, we do not have the authority to consider or settle this claim. |
