 DECISION                 OF THE UNITEO        STATES
                          WASHINGTON. D. C. 20549

 MATTER OF:      HUD Employees - Severance Pay - Retroactive
                 Reduction-in-Force
 DIGEST:

     1.   Certain Department of Housing and Urban
          Development (HUD) employees were termin-
          ated by a reduction-in-force (RIF) after
          the lifting of an injunction issued by
          the U.S. District Court. During the
          period of the stay, the employees
          continued their employment. When the
          injunction was lifted, HUD made the RIF
          retroactively effective to the original-
          ly proposed date. Severance pay is not
          basic pay from a position, and so pay-
          ment of severance pay is not barred by
          the dual compensation prohibitions of
          5 u..--5573'().

     2.   Certain Department of Housing and Urban
          Development (HUD) employees were termin-
          ated by a reduction-in-force (RIF) after
          the lifting of an injunction issued by
          the U.S. District Court. During the
          period of the stay, the employees
          continued their employment. When the
          injunction was lifted, HUD made the RIF
          retroactively effective to the original-
          ly proposed date. Since individuals
          must be actually separated fromn Uaited
          States Government service to receive
          severance pay, those employees were not
          entitled to severance pay iJntil they
          were actually separated after the lift-
          ing of the injunction. They are
          entitled to severance pay beginning on
          the date of-actual separatior, vwith
          years of service and pay rates based on
          the originally intended date of the RIF,
          assuming that t   retroactivity ot the
          RIF is rupheld by the Merit Systems
          Protection Board.
