McGovern - Waiver - CSRS Underdeductions File: B-235467 Date: October 24, 1989 DIGEST An employee who was subject to the Civil Service Retirement Offset System received overpayments of pay because his agency failed to deduct the correct retirement amount from his salary. Waiver is granted under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. S 5584 (1982), notwithstanding the fact that the amount of the overpayments could be withdrawn from the retirement Fund, where there is no indication of fault and where the overpayments occurred over a period of time so that the employee had a reasonable basis to rely upon receipt of the money. DECISION This decision is in response to a request for waiver under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. S 5584 (1982) for Mr. James F. McGovern, former Under Secretary of the Air Force.l/ The waiver request concerns Civil Service Retirement salary underdeductions. Waiver is granted for the reasons that follow. BACKGROUND Mr. McGovern was appointed to an executive schedule position with the Department of the Air Force in 1986. At that time the Air Force erroneously placed Mr. McGovern in the Civil Service Retirement System instead of the Civil Service Retirement Offset System. The Air Force discovered the error in 1987; however, another administrative error was committed and Mr. McGovern was placed in the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) instead of the Offset System. 1/ The request was submitted by the Director, Settlement and Adjudication, Department of the Air Force, Headquarters Air Force Accounting and Finance Center, Denver, Colorado.
