MATTER OF:
                 Arthur Weiner - Request for waiver of overpayment
                 of pay
DIGEST:
            Employee requests waiver of debt arising because
            of agency failure to terminate saved pay after
            end of 2-year salary retention period. Record
            shows that employee had notice of end of 2-year
            period, that he regularly received statements of
            leave and earnings, and that it was his custom
            to file such forms without reviewing for accuracy.
            Waiver is denied since, where employee has neces-
            sary records, which if reviewed would indicate
            overpayment existed, and employee fails to review
            such documents for accuracy, be is not free of
            fault under standards established by 4 C.F.R.
            8 91.5 and waiver will be denied.

        This action is in response to a request by Mr. Arthur Weiner
   for reconsideration of the determination of our Transportation
   and Claims Division (now Claims Division) denying his request for
   waiver under 5 U.S.C. § 5584 (1970), of an overpayment of basic
   compensation. The request was forwarded to us by R. F. Benjamin,
   Chief, Field Services office, U.S. A'y Finance and Accounting
   Center.

        Mr. Weiner was a Procurement Analyst, PM45-33,-GS-13, step 5,
   $18,996 per annum, employed by the Army Material Command when he
   was subjected to a reduction-in-force action which resulted in
   his being placed effective February 8, 1970, as a Procurement
   Analyst, No. 14037, GS-11, step 10, $15,473 per anium, with the
   Picatinay Arsenal, Department of the Army. The SF 50 effecting
   this personnel action noted that the rate of pay which attaches
   to grade GS-13, step 5, Vas saved to Mr. Ueiner not to exceed
   February 7, 1972. The appropriate form (Payroll Change Slip,
   DA Form 2515) was timely issued to reflect the expiration of the
   2-year salary retention period on February 7, 1972. However, the
   form was not processed by the payroll office and Mr. Weiner
   continued to be paid at the saved rate through January 23, 1973.
   Specifically, he received an extra $23.20 for each of 24 pay
   periods for a total indebtedness of $556.80.
