Alfred H. Dube    aiver   Nondeduction
of Insurance Premi um

Employee had premium   or regular
coverage under Federal Employees
Group Life Insurance deducted from
his pay from September 14, 1970, to
September 16, 1973.  Thereafter until
February 12, 1977, appropriate deduc-
tions were not made from his pay due
to Government's administrative error.
Employee's request for waiver of er-

5 U.S.C. § 5584 is denied since
employee had continuous insurance
coverage throughout period that pre-

overpayments through examination of
Leave and Farnings Statements provided

the action taken by our Claims Division on January 3,
1980, denying his application for waiver of the Govern-

payments of compensation in the amount of $501.73.  The
overpayments resulted from non-deduction of Federal
Employees Group Life Insurance premiums'during the
period from September 16, 1973, through February 12,
1977.  In view of the applicable provisions of law
and regulation we sustain the Claims Division action.

     The record shows that on September 14, 1970, Mr. Dube
executed Standard Form No. 176 declining optional Federal
Employees Group Life Insurance but accepting regular
Federal Employees Group Life Insurance coverage.  Correct
payroll deductions were effected during the period from
September 14, 1970, to September 16, 1973, at which
time Mr. Dube was transferred from Fort Devens, Mas-
sachusetts, to Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Following this
transfer, as a result of administrative error, no further
