Sec. 52.72  Implementation of orders.



    (a) In each case the Board shall transmit a copy of its decision or 

the Secretary's decision to the proper Coast Guard authority for 

determination of monetary benefits due, if any, as a result of the 

action of the Board and for corrections of the military record ordered 

by the Board.

    (b) Upon request, the claimant is required to furnish to the Board 

or to the Coast Guard any information necessary to determine the proper 

parties to the claim for payment under applicable provisions of law.

    (c) Appropriate records shall be examined in light of the Board's 

decision to determine all amounts which may be due. Amounts found due 

are subject to setoff in the amount of any existing indebtedness to the 

Government arising from Coast Guard service and to other setoffs 

required by law or regulation.

    (d) At the time of payment, the claimant shall be advised as to the 

nature and amount of the various benefits represented by the total 

settlement, and of the fact that acceptance of the settlement 

constitutes a complete release by the claimant of any claim against the 

United States on account of the correction of record ordered by the 

Board.
