         File:      B-236258

         Date:      March 14, 1990


         DIGEST

         The reduction in a member's retired or retainer pay that
         is allocable to a pay period required by 5 U.S.C. S 5532(c)
         when the combined annual rate of retired pay and annual rate
         of basic pay for a civilian position with government exceeds
         level V of the Executive Schedule should be accomplished by
         converting all factors to a biweekly pay period basis for
         the purpose of determining whether the pay cap was exceeded
         and if it is exceeded the deduction should be implemented
         converting the excess to a yearly then a monthly rate.


         DECISION

         Lieutenant Colonel Merland B. Bersch, USAF, retired,
         appeals a settlement of our Claims Group which denied
         his claim for retired pay withheld under the provisions
         of 5 U.S.C. § 5532(c). For the following reasons his
         claim may be allowed.

         This case involves the method used to compute the reduction
         in retired pay required by 5 U.S.C. § 5532(c). That section
         provides in part as follows:

               (c)(1) If any member or former member of a
               uniformed service is receiving retired or
               retainer pay and is employed in a position
               the annual rate of basic pay for which, when
               combined with the member's annual rate of
               retired or retainer pay . . . exceeds the rate
               of basic pay then currently paid for level V
               of the Executive Schedule, such member's
               retired or retainer pay shall be reduced by an
               amount computed under paraqraph (2) of this
               subsection. ...
