Aug. 16 (UPI) -- The Department of Defense incorrectly distributed nearly a billion dollars in travel fees over a three- year period, a General Accounting Office report said.
The 54-page report, issued this week, noted that "improper payments -- including payments that should not have been made or were made in an incorrect amount -- are a long-standing, significant challenge in the federal government. Both GAO and the DOD Inspector General have reported on problems related to improper payments in DOD's travel pay program."
