Opinion

GRACEY, JUDGE:

This claim was submitted for decision based upon the allegations in the Notice of Claim and respondent's Answer.

Claimant seeks $522.78 for travel expenses incurred when he served as a hearing examiner for respondent State agency. The respondent admits the validity and amount of the claim and states that there were sufficient funds in respondent's budget for the appropriate fiscal year with which the claim could have been paid; however, the respondent was unable to make payment as the State Auditor returned the transmittal to the respondent with the explanation that the Treasury of the State of West Virginia lacked sufficient funds to process the transmittal.

The Court has reviewed the petition and the Answer and finds the State agency had sufficient funds within its appropriated budget to pay the claim and for this reason, the claimant is entitled to an award from the respondent.

In view of the foregoing, the Court makes an award in the amount of $522.78.

[121]*121Award of $522.78.
