    (b) Amounts due deceased, incompetent, or insolvent persons 
including payees or bona fide holders of unpaid Government checks;
    (c) Amounts claimed from the Government when questions of fact 
affect either the amount payable or the terms of payment, when for any 
reason settlement cannot or should not be affected at the Foreign 
Service office; and
    (d) Amounts of checks, owned by living payees or bona fide holders, 
which have been covered into outstanding liabilities. The Foreign
