MATTER  OF:.  Nina R. Mathews 2Rfn  fLf  nuac
              -Premiumsj


Federal employee who waived life insurance
coverage during her first appointment was
separated and subsequently reinstated
and agency erroneously began withholding
life insurance premiums at this time.
Employee requested refund 4 years later
when she discovered she had not been
covered by insurance as waiver had never
been canceled. Premiums should be refunded
since employee could not have received
benefit of insurance. B-151443, May 17,


            1963.

     By a letter dated June 12, 1980, Mr. H. Larry Jordan,
an.au  orized certifying officer with the National Finance
Center, United States Department of Agriculture, requests
an advance decision regarding the refund of premiums for
Federal Employees Group Life Insurance which were
deducted from the salary of Ms. Nina R. Matthews-.

     The record shows that when Ms. Mathews was em-
ployed by the Federal Government in 1969 she completed
a Standard Form 176-T waiving life insurance coverage.
She was separated and subsecuently reinstated in 1975
to a career appointment. At the time Ms. Matthews was
reinstated her personnel document Tats erroneously coded
to indicate life insurance coverpge.

     Ms. Mathews states that she inquired about the
deductions from her salary in 1975 and was informed
that she had been covered by life insurance. She
apparently decided to allow the coverage to continue
and took no further action. In 1979 Ms. Mathews
received a promotion which resulted in an increase
in the amount of the decuction from her salary for
life insurance. She contacted the Personnel Office
to have the insurance canceled and was informed that
she had never been covered by life insurance since
the waiver.she signed in 1969 was still in effect.
