Sec. 842.9  Splitting a claim.

    (a) A claim includes all damages accruing to a claimant by reason of 
an accident or incident. For example, when the same claimant has a claim 
for property damage and personal injury arising out of the same 
incident, each claim represents only a part of a single claim or cause 
of action. Even if local law permits filing a separate

claim for property damage and for personal injury, do not settle or pay 
a separate or split claim without the advance approval of HQ USAF/JACC.
    (b) Filing for an advance payment, and subsequently filing a claim, 
does not constitute splitting a claim.
    (c) Process the claim of a subrogor (insured) and subrogee (insurer) 
for damages arising out of the same incident as a single claim where 
permitted. If either claim or the combined claim exceeds, or is expected 
to exceed, settlement limits, send it to the next higher settlement 
authority. Do not split subrogated claims to avoid settlement limits.
