Matter of: [xxx]
File Number: S98001848
Date: October 2, 1998
OPM Contact: Jo-Ann Chabot
Claimant seeks payment of a bonus allegedly earned by her father in 1945.
As provided in 31 U.S.C. 3702(b)(1), every claim against the United States is barred unless such claim is received within 6 years after the date such claim first accrued. The Barring Act specifically prescribes the time within which a claim must be received in order for it to be considered on its merits. We have no authority to disregard the provisions of that Act or waive the time limitation it imposes.
This settlement is final. No further administrative review is available within the Office of Personnel Management. Nothing in this settlement limits the claimant's right to bring an action in an appropriate United States Court.
