C. 20548 FILE: B-19 802 DATE: November 28, 1980 MATTER OF: Charles J. Zeman DIGEST: Employee of the Federal Government elected regular and optional life insurance under FEGLI. On transfer from one agency to another in 1975, a payroll record error resulted in nondeduction for insurance premiums.

This action is in response to a letter from Mr. Charles J. Zeman, a Federal employee, requesting recon- sideration of the action of our Claims Division, dated March 4, 1980, which denied waiver of his indebtedness to the United States which arose as a result of his agency's failure to make deductions from his salary for life insurance coverage under the Federal Employees Group Life-w Insurance Program. The file shows that in 1974, while employed by the National Security Agency, Mr. Zeman elected regular and optional life insurance. Thereafter in April 1974 he transferred from that agency to another agency and served a tour of duty overseas in a civilian capacity with the second agency. In 1975 he was retransferred to his original employing agency, but upon reassignment a payroll record error was made and deductions for his regular and optional life insurance were not reestab- lished. Upon discovery the amount of the underdeduction was established as $1,306.54.
