C. 20548 DATE: December 15, i1981 , USAF Service member may be granted waiver of erroneous payments of pay and allow- ances made on discharge and during the month after separation since he was .convinced by discussions with adminis- trative officials that no recoupment was being made for the unearned portion of a reenlistment bonus and he had rea- sonable expectation that he was being paid correctly. However, he is not without fault so as to permit waiver in accepting an improper allotment payment to his credit union account after discharge, since he should have known that he would be required to return the excess sums. Sergeant , USAF,, requests reconsideration of our Claims Division's (now Claims Group) June 12, 1979 denial of his application for waiver of his debt to the United States in the total-amount of $986.66. The debt arose from erroneous payment of pay and allowances made to him incident to his service in the United States Air Force. Waiver is granted for erroneous payments made on discharge and thereafter when the information he received from personnel officials indicated that his pay was correct, but denial of waiver of an erroneous payment to his credit union account is sustained. At the time of his separation from the Air Force on August 9, 1976, Sergeant pa'y account showed that he had entitlements of $802.18.: However, as a result of his early discharge he became indebted for $811.91 because he did not serve a full tour of duty for which he was paid a reenlistment bonus. Therefore, he was indebted to the United States for $9.73 at the time of his discharge. Thus, he was not entitled to any payments and in fact should have been required to remit $9.73. During the month of August as a result of administra- tive error the Air Force made payments to Sergeant. of $445.93, $189, and $192. Additionally, an improper allotment of $150 was made to his account at a credit II 337
