FILE:  B-152040                    DATE:            9
       B-158422
MATTER OF:      Department of Defense Military Pay and
                Allowance Committee Action No. 502
DIGEST:         1.  Amount of claim of United States against
                    a member of uniformed services arising
                    out of overpayments of pay and allowances,
                    which is subject to consideration for
                    waiver under 10 U.S.C. 2774, is total
                    amount of erroneous payments made, even
                    where audit of member's pay account
                    reveals underpayment of pay and allowances,
                    whether that underpayment involves the
                    same item of pay and allowances or a dif-
                    ferent item , than was involved in the
                    overpayment or was in the same or a dif-
                    ferent period.

                2.  Where member requests waiver of claim
                    under 10 U.S.C. 2774, which is less than
                    the total erroneous payment, and he does
                    not know that an accounting setoff :for-
                    underpayment which was otherwise due him
                    has been made or of his right to request
                    waiver for that amount, or that erroneous
                    payment was actually determined to be for
                    greater amount, we would act on entire
                    erroneous payment in view of beneficial
                    nature of law. However, where member
                    knows of the proper total erroneous pay-
                    ment, accounting setoff for an underpay-
                    ment and his right to request waiver in
                    such amount, but requested waiver of amount
                    less than total, we would act only on
                    amount of waiver request.

     This action is in response to a letter from the Assistant
 Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) requesting a decision by this
 Office on several questions relating to the indebtedness to be
 considered for waiver under the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 2774 in
 the circumstances described in Department of Defense Military Pay
 and Allowance Committee Action No. 502, enclosed with the request.
