§ 91.1 - Purpose and scope of subchapter.

This subchapter implements 5 U.S.C. 5584, 10 U.S.C. 2774, and 32 U.S.C. 716. It prescribes the effect of and the standards and procedures for waiver of claims of the United States arising out of erroneous payments of pay and allowances, and erroneous payments of travel, transportation, and relocation expenses and allowances, made to or on behalf of employees of an agency or members of the uniformed services, including the National Guard, the collection of which would be against equity and good conscience and not in the best interests of the United States. These regulations do not affect any authority under any other statute to litigate, settle, compromise, or waive any claim of the United States.
