Lula F. Foneo - Request for Waiver of
Indebtedness


Reemployed annuitant requests waiver of
overpayments of pay where agency listed
her annuity as Y,,,024 per annum instead
of ql,024 per month,  Waiver Is granted
since employee informed her Personnel
Office anM Payroll Office Liaison of the
overpayment and she was assured that the
payments were correc(q,


     Mrs. Lula F, Fones, a veemployed annuitant, appeals
 the denial by our Claims Group of her request for waiver
 of a claim against her by the United States for recovery
 of ql1,21055 in erroneous salary payments.   The waiver
 may be granted for the following reasons. Mrs. Fones
 was Lteceiving an annuity from the Civil Service Commission,
 and was appointed by the Dep~rtment of Labor to a position
 as a Workers Compensation Claims Examiner, GS-13, step 5,
 on May 12, 19759 The Notification of Personnel Action,
 DL Form 50, appointing Mrs. Fones correctly stated that
 she was a reemployed annuitant, and that her appointment
 was only temporary. However, her annuity was listed on
 the DL form 50 as 1,024 per annum instead of   1,024 per
 month. As a result, her salary was reduced by her monthly
 annuity rate instead of her annual rate, and she was over-
 paid in the-gross amount of $ll,210.55 for the period
 from May 12, 1975, through August 13, 1977.

     Mrs. Fones states that she was aware that her salary
would have to be reduced by the amount of her annuity.
She also statos that the amount of her first check was
more than she had expected, and that she made inquiries
with the U.8@ Department of Labor Personnel Office.  The
Personnel Office informed Mrs. Fones that the amount of
her check was correct, but suggested that she contact the
Payroll Office. She went to the Payroll office where her
file was pulled and she was assured that her proper
annuity was being deducted and that the amount of pay she
was receiving was oorrect. Mrs. Fones says that consid-
ering these respons.es she was convinced that she was not
being overpaid and accepted her checks in good faith.
