What should an employee do if personal property has been lost or damaged at post?
The employee may file a claim with the government for loss or damage of property, but not until such time that the post verifies the loss. The claim is filed through the employees agency. Foreign Affairs Agency (State, USAID, FAS, FCS, APHIS) personnel must complete Form DS 1620, Claims for Loss of or Damage to Private Personal Property. The Management Officer at post files an investigative report. A cable from post verifying the loss or damage may be acceptable. If possible, the employee should present travel orders, inventory, receipts, and bills of lading. If not possible, the employee should file the claim with whatever information is available.
