Jamiel File: B-235158 Date: February 6, 1990 DIGEST A former Navy member's request for waiver of his debt to the United States arising out of an overpayment of pay for unused leave entitlement is granted. The member questioned the disbursing clerk and the disbursing clerk's supervisor and became convinced that the payment was correct. He therefore was without fault in accepting the erroneous payment. DECISION This action responds to correspondence from James A. Jamiel, a former Navy member, appealing the January 27, 1989 determination of our Claims Group denying a recuest for waiver of the debt he incurred as the result of military pay and allowance overpayments. We conclude that Mr. Jamiel's request for waiver may be granted. BACKGROUND Mr. Jamiel was discharged from the Navy on ADril 1, 1985. According to the record, Mr. Jamiel's December 1984 leave and earning statement showed a leave balance of 56.5 days as of December 31, 1984. He earned 8 days leave from January 1, 1985 through April 1, 1985, for a total of 64.5 days. The record further indicates that he used a total of 15 days leave from January 1, 1985, through March 8, 1985. Mr. Jamiel's March 31, 1985 leave and earnings statement showed that he was entitled to receive pay for 49.0 days accumulated leave. Upon his discharge, an administrative error was committed crediting Mr. Jamiel with 60 days unused leave entitlement in the amount of $4,751.40 instead of the correct 49.5 days 0~4-7(o 8 1 A/ 05-67
