32 C.F.R. § 756.7 Payment.
Title 32 - National Defense
(a) Claims that can be settled for less than $1000.00. A claim not covered by insurance (or not paid by the insurer), that can be settled for $1000.00 or less, may be adjudicated by the commanding officer of the activity concerned or designee. The claim shall be paid out of funds available to the commanding officer. (b) Claims that cannot be settled for less than $1000.00. A claim negotiated by the Navy, not covered by insurance, that cannot be settled for less than $1000.00, shall be forwarded to the appropriate nonappropriated-fund headquarters command for payment from its nonappropriated-funds. (c) When payment is possible under another statute. In some cases neither the NAFI nor its insurer may be legally responsible. In those instances, when there is no negligence, and payment is authorized under some other statute, such as the Foreign Claims Act, 10 U.S.C. 2734–2736, the claim may be considered for payment from appropriated funds or may be referred to the Judge Advocate General for appropriate action. (d) Other claims. A NAFI's private insurance policy is usually not available to cover losses which result from some act or omission of a mere participant in a nonappropriated-fund activity. In the event the NAFI declines to pay the claim, the file shall be forwarded to the Judge Advocate General for determination.
