Dear Mr. Latella:

This responds to your letter of July 21, 1995,' regarding the disposition of amounts
deducted from the pay of a current IRS employee and erroneously contributed to
the Civil Service Retirenhent System (CSRS) instead of the Federal Employees
Retirement System (FERS).

We  advised you in our letter of March 17, 1995, that the issues you have asked us to
consider may be resolved by the Merit Systemus Protection Board (MSPB) in several
pending cases. Those cases have now been resolved, Lary v. OPM, 68\M.S.P.R. 206
(July 13, 1995); Jackson v. OPM, SF-0831-93-0511 B-2, unpublished, July 12, 1995.
However, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has filed a petition for
reconsideration in the Lay case with the United States Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit on August 18, 1995. We have been advised by OPM that the court
agreed on October 5 to consider the petition. Therefore, the matter is still pending.

You state that you do not see that a decision in the Lary case will have an impact
on your request for a decision since the case presented in your letter of May 19,
1994, involves a current, not a former employee. Further, you say that the case you
have presented does not involve a refund of CSRS or FERS retirement monies, as
specified in the lay case.
