Portal Pay Claims Could Cost Government Heavily
Undersecretary of War Kenneth C. Royall told a Senate subcommittee that portal pay claims tied to war contracts could cost the government up to 500000. He noted total back pay suits exceed 4 billion and warned cost-plus contracts pose the greatest liability for additional costs like portal pay. Royall cited 1941 46 contracts totaling 40 to 45 billion dollars and said portal claims already near 200 million, likely rising beyond 300 million and possibly 400 million. He said most cost-plus contracts are closed or nearly complete while jump sum contracts lack escalator clauses and portal reimbursement.
