           Decision



           Matterof- Military Retirees - Employment Under Contract -
                     Dual Compensation Restrictions
           File:     B-231565

           Date:    November 14, 1988


           DIGEST
           When the military and naval departments enter into
           statutorily authorized personal services contracts for
           the services of retired service members who are specialists
           in medicine and related fields, the retirees do not thereby
           become civilian federal employees in established govern-
           ment positions. Hence, they are not covered by the dual
           compensation restrictions of 5 U.S.C. SS 5531 and 5532
           (1982), which apply to a retired service member who holds
           a civilian position in the government.


           DECISION

           In this case we conclude that retired military and naval
           personnel are not subject to reductions in their retired
           pay under the dual compensation restrictions of 5 U.S.C.
           §S 5531 and 5532 (1982) when they enter into contracts
           with the government under the authority of 10 U.S.C.
           S 1091 (Supp. IV 1986) to provide health care services.l/

           BACKGROUND

           Section 1091 of title 10, United States Code, authorizes
           the Secretaries of the military and naval departments
           to contract with persons for services (including per-
           sonal services) for the provision of direct health care
           services. . . .  Implementing regulations of the
           Department of Defense (DOD) permit these personal service
           contracts when in-house sources are insufficient to support




           1/ This action is in response to a request for a decision
           received from the Judge Advocate General of the United
           States Navy.
