          DIGEST(

          A retired serviceman's daughter continued to receive annuity
          ptymentsdunder a Family Protection Plan after she was no
          longer eligible for them, j!er request for waiver of her
          obligation to repay the excess amount she received is denied
          because she knew or should have known that she continued to
          receive the payments after she ceased to be eligible.
          Granting a waiver in this case would therefore be
          inconsistent with the p-ovisions of 10 U.S.C. § 1442
          governing such waivers.

          DECISION

          This is in response to a request by Ms. Charlotte E.
          (Hargrove) Ladwig for waiver of a debt to the government
          which arose when she continued to receive payments from a
          RetSred Serviceman's Family Protection Plan (RSFPP) annuity
          after she was no longer eligible to receive them,    For the
          reasons presented below, her request for a waiver is denied.

          Ms.Lapwig is the daughter of Master Sergeant Ernest C.
          Hargrove, USAF (Retired)(Deceased), who elected to
          participate in the RSFPP to provide a survivor annuity for
          his children. When he died in March 1980, an annuity was
          established for Ms. Ladwig, who was then a high school
          student. The annuity provided her $68.36 per month, to
          continue until she reached age 23 if she remained a full-
          time student, She enrolled in college in May 1981, but left
          .n December 1981.   In May 1982, she was married and,
          believing she was no longer eligible for the annuity
          payments, so notified the Air. Force, asking them tostop
          payments., however, the annuity payments continued until
          February 28, 1983. The Air Force wrote to Ms. Ladwig in
          May 1983 informing her that unless she could confirm that
          she was still a full-tim.: st Aent, she would need to return
          the annuity payments sent to /er for the 15-month period
