The Comptroller General must still pay a line Army officer's account. This applies even if the officer cannot account for property or file reports. It only applies when the officer was a prisoner, or hurt by an accident of war.

The Comptroller General must settle the pay account of a line officer of the Army — meaning the officer still gets paid what is owed — even if the officer cannot account for property that was entrusted to them, or cannot file a required monthly report or return. This exception only applies when the Comptroller General is satisfied that the officer's failure to account for the property, or to make the report or return, was caused by the officer being a prisoner, or by an accident or casualty of war.

The Comptroller General shall settle the account of a line officer of the Army for pay due the officer even if the officer cannot account for property entrusted to the officer or cannot make a monthly report or return, when the Comptroller General is satisfied that the inability to account for property or make a report or return was the result of the officer having been a prisoner, or of an accident or casualty of war.
