DIGEST:


OF:


George N. Dold - Waiver of Health
Insurance Premiums


Employee requeuting waiver of under-
deducted health insurance premiums
states that when he changed his
health insurance plan he was being
tranpferred and several payroll
changes occurred at same time.
Although employee brought error to
agyncy' S attentinn approximately
eight years later and although he
claims he did not receive infor-
mation on premium rates or health
insurance plan brochures since it
was not open season, waiver is
denied, Employee should have
lnown of error when his leave and
earnings statements did not reflect
change in deductions or change to
new health plan Code Number. eMore-
over employee should have bean aware
of premium rates during subsequent
open seasons. Additionally, he, in
fact, received the benefits of the
more costly health plan.


     This decision is in response to an appeal of our
Claims Group's denial of a request for waiver from
Mr. George . Dold, an employee of the National Insti-.
tute of Health, Department of Health and Human Services,
Mr. Dold believes he is entitled to waiver of an over-
payment made to him because the overpayment was due to
an administrative error and Mr. Dold brought the error
to the attention of his agessay. For the reasons which
follow we hold that Mr. Dolt is not entitled to waiver.
                       BACKGROUND

from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Bethesda, Maryland.
At that tine Mr. Dold executed SF 2809 Health fenefitn
