Underpaid overseas gis won t be reimbursed by Janet Howells Tierney Washington Bureau Washington a service members overseas who were underpaid millions of dollars in housing and Cost of living allowances because of faulty data wont be reimbursed a Pentagon official says. Officials said reimbursements would be impossible to calculate because the inaccurate information that was used to figure past allowance amounts cannot be corrected. In addition Many military members and their families have since moved and May not have kept records of their overseas housing expenses they said. But some military paychecks in West Germany were slightly bigger at the end of March because of an increase in the Utility allowance and an adjusted Exchange rate. Officials said the Utility allowance increase which amounts to $12 per month for officers and $18 for enlisted members was in response to annual reports that found service members were paying More than they were getting. The massive underpayments were cited recently by the general accounting office.
