“Just to follow up on that, Mr. Chairman, if an agency failed to pay a claim and then stated their reason was they did not have money in their claim fund or whatever part of their budget was allocated to payment of claims, as I read the statute, it says that if there are insufficient funds in the agency's budget, that the agent shall transfer or reprogram any appropriated funds available to the agency to accomplish that. So, as I read that, Mr. Chairman, that would mean that in the very next budget cycle, when the agency had a full budget, so to speak, that they would be required to reprogram funds out of their budget to satisfy this obligation, is that correct?”
