Sec. 701. Members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps;

-STATUTE-

(a) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the military

department concerned, a commissioned officer of the Army, Navy, Air

Force, or Marine Corps may transfer or assign his pay account, when

due and payable.

(b) A contract surgeon, or contract dental surgeon, of the Army,

Navy, or Air Force, on duty in Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippine

Islands, or Puerto Rico, may transfer or assign his pay account,

when due and payable, under the regulations prescribed under

subsection (a).

(c) An enlisted member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine

Corps may not assign his pay, and if he does so, the assignment is

void.

(d) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, a

member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps and a contract

surgeon of the Army, Navy, or Air Force may make allotments from

the pay of the member or surgeon for the purpose of supporting

relatives or for any other purpose that the Secretary considers

proper. Such allotments may include a maximum of six allotments

considered to be discretionary under such regulations. For a member

or former member entitled to retired or retainer pay, a maximum of

six discretionary allotments authorized during active military

service may be continued into retired status, and new discretionary

allotments may be authorized so long as the total number of

discretionary allotments does not exceed six.

(e) If an allotment made under subsection (d) is paid to the

allottee before the disbursing officer receives a notice of

discontinuance from the officer required by regulation to furnish

the notice, the amount of the allotment shall be credited to the

disbursing officer. If an allotment is erroneously paid because the

officer required by regulation to so report failed to report the

death of the allotter or any other fact that makes the allotment

not payable, the amount of the payment not recovered from the

allottee shall, if practicable, be collected by the Secretary

concerned from the officer who failed to make the report.
