C. 20548 FILE: B-180095 DATE: September 8, 1980 MATTER OF:ecoupment of Union Due--Fort Stewart/ SS unter Army Airfield DIGESTAccounting and Finance Officer inquires whether Government is required to reimburse employees for union dues allotments which were continued after employees were no longer part of a bargaining unit. Reimbursement is not required even though not stopping the allotments in accordance with 5 C.F.R. 550.322(c) was an agency error because employees have a responsibility to notify agency of improper allotment withholding and because agency action merely paid dues for employees who were union members and owed dues. Employees are not entitled to reimbursement for allotment payments which inure to their benefit. B-194692, July 24, 1979. For same reason there is no requirement to recoup allotment Dayments from union. 54 Comp. Gen. 921 (1975) and B-180095, December 8, 1977, .amplified. This decision is in response to a request by a Finance and Accounting Officer at Headquarters, 24th Infantry Division and Fort Stewart, Fort Stewart, Georgia, regarding the recovery of dues paid to a union through allotments after union members were no longer a part of the bargaining unit represented by the union. We have concluded that the erroneously withheld allotments need not be paid to the employees since they have a duty to advise the agencies if an allotment is being erroneously withheld and since the dues payments were owed the union and inured to the benefit of the employees. .Therefore, no action need be taken to recoup the erroneous allotments from the unions.

Headquarters, 24th Infantry Division and Fort Stewart, the United States Army Medical Department Activity, and the United States Army Communications Command ~it?2--
