  3. U.S. Coast GuardClaims and Litigation The Military Personnel and Civilian Employees’ Claims Act (MPCECA): • See COMDTINST M5890.9, Chapter 6. • Provides authority for settlement of claims for the loss of, damage to, or destruction of certain property of military personnel or civilian employees occurring incident to their service. • For incidents occurring primarily aboard Government property, or as a result of duty-related activities. • Does not replace private insurance.

  4. U.S. Coast GuardClaims and Litigation • Claims by military members or civilian employees of the Coast Guard, are under the MPCECA, and should be submitted on the CG-4112, Personal Property Claim form. • These types of claims do not normally require full administrative investigations. Instead, units should use the CG-4112A, Claims Investigating Officer’s Report of Personal Property Claim. • Page 2 of the CG-4111, which is an inventory sheet, may also be requested by the Settlement Officer when the claim involves damage to several items.

  5. U.S. Coast GuardClaims and Litigation The Investigation: As soon as possible after an incident that might give rise to a claim against the Coast Guard, the responsible unit should undertake an investigation in accordance with the Administrative Investigations Manual (AIM), COMDTINST M5830.1 as supplemented by Chapter 2 of the Coast Guard Claims and Litigation Manual, COMDTINST M5890.9. In most claims matters, the preferred investigation format is the Letter Incident Report (LIR). Enclosure 6 of the AIM provides a Sample LIR and Enclosure 11 gives an investigation check-off list.
