See B-183218, 41nch 31, 1975.


     By recent correspnderce Mr'. Russell Swain. an employee of the
Departmrnt of Housing andF Urban Devlopment (1D) in Buffalo, New
York, has appealed the action of our Claims Division which in
Certificate of Settlement dated January 26, 1978, disallowed
Mr. Swain's claim for a retroactive promotion and accompanying
backpay.  This claim arises o't of M. Swain's allegations that he
was improperly classified at the grade 0S-11 level and that he was
j.e*forming ducies of higher graded positions and that he was also
assigned to a higher graded position.

     The record shows that on Febr iry 21, 1971, Mr. Swain was
raassignad from the position of Realty Specialist grade GB-11 to
trt'bf  Rehibilitations Loan and Grants Representative grade GS-11.
On October 17, 1971, another individual was appointed to a posi-
tion in Mr. Swain's office from the Civil Service Commission Registeo
as a Community Development RepresentLtive grade C5-12. This indi-
vidual was apparently hired as Mr. Swain's replacement. Effective
November 23, 1971, Mr. Swain was reassigned from his position as
Comaunity Development Representative grade GS-11 to that of Codes
Specialist grade G5-51. Wt. Swain continued in the ,Code Specialist
grade GS-11 position in the Operations Division, Planning and
Relocation Branch until Octobar 27, 1974, when he was promoted to
grade GS-12 due to the reclassification of his Codes Specialist
position.
