DECISION


B-204119


DATE:


January 27,


MATTQR I


DIGEST;


OF:


Lieutenant Colonel Robert C, McFarlane,
USMC (Retired)


1. The reduction of military retired pay
    required under the dual compensation,*
    restriction impoged by 5 US.C. § 5532(c)
    involves a determination of the amount by
    which the combined rabe of retired pay
    plus Federal civilian salary exceeds the
    rate of basic pay preI3cribed for level V
    of the Executive Schedule,  The retired
    pay is reduced by thai; amount, subject
    to a proviso that the remainder must at
    least be equal to the cost of the retiree's
    participation in any s-urvivor's benefits
    program or veterans insurance program.


          2. 5 U.s.C9 § 5532(c) requires that combined
              military retired pay plus Federal civilian
              salary not exceed the rate of pay for level
              V of the Executive Schedule for any pay
              period. Hence, the amount of the retired
              pay reduction required for any given pay
              period may not be refunded to a retiree
              even though the retiree's combined retired
              pay and civilian salary for the entire year
              may be less than the annual pay prescribed
              for level V of the Executive Schedule.

     The Head, Disbursing Branch, Fiscal Division, United
States Marine Corps, has requested our decision on the
proper computation of the retired pay reduction required
by 5 U.S.C. § 5532(c).  The request was assigned Control
No. DO-MC-1368 by the Department of Defense Military Pay
and Allowance Committee.

     The issues stem from Lieutenant Colonel Robert C.
McFarlane's retirement from active military service with
the Marine Corps on July 1, 1979, and his subsequent
appointment to a full-time civilian position with the
United States Senate on July 2, 1979.  Although he has
since changed employment, colonel McFarlane has, at all
times since his military retirement, been employed full
time in civilian positions with the Government.
