    The State Department has issued a notice regarding the delegation of authority in debt collection and waiver claims. The Secretary of State has granted the Principal Officer at a post the power to make decisions about certain financial claims, such as compromises or settlements, involving the Department of State, provided the claims are less than $500. This authority is non-transferable, meaning these powers cannot be delegated further beyond the Principal Officer. The delegation of authority has been published in the Federal Register as required.

    Simple Explanation

    The State Department announced that the main person in charge at different locations can decide how to handle small money claims, but only up to $500. These decisions can't be passed on to anyone else, and there aren't clear rules about how and when they should be made, which might cause some problems.
