An Air Force Reserve officer who was receiving aviation career incentive pay (ACIP) was assigned to a nonflying position. While regulations authorize continuing ACIP in these circumstances for a maximum of 24 months, he received an order indicating that it would continue for 4 years. He continued receiving ACIP for 4 years under the order, plus an additional year after the order expired. Collection of the ACIP he received attributable to the extra 2 years erroneously authorized by the order was properly waived. However, waiver of the amounts paid for the period after the order expired was properly denied. He had a duty to verify his entitlement to ACIP after the order expired. Since he did not do so for a year, he is not without fault in regard to these payments. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-265873/html/GAOREPORTS-B-265873.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-265873/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-265873.pdf GAO/B-265873 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-265873 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-265873; Major James P.
