MATTER OF: Waiver of overpayments of retired pay under
                the Dual Compensation Act pursuant to 10 U.S.C.
                2774.
DIGEST:
                Waiver of indebtedness due United States under
                10 U.S.C. 2774 which represents overpayment of
                retired pay in violation of statutory limitation
                of 5 U.S.C. 59a (1958), which imposed a $10,000
                limitation of combined civilian and military
                retired pay per calendar year as elected by
                member, is denied because member should have
                been aware of overpayment and was partially
                at fault in not reporting, the overpayment, to
                proper administrative officials in order to
                prevent further overpayment.

     This action is in response to a letter dated March 6, 1975,
from CWO-4 Salvatore Bosco, USA, Retired, addressed to the Honor-
able DanLe B. rascell, House u RpenLatves, i-ch was Aforwaded
to our Office for response, concerning his request for waiver of
his indebtedness to the United States arising out of erroneous
payments of retired pay in the amount of $2,198.46, which in effect
requests reconsideration of the action taken in his case by the
Transportation and Claims Division of this Office dated January 30,
1975, which denied waiver based upon a finding that he was at least
partially at fault for the continuing erroneous payments.

     The record shows that the member was retired from the Regular
Army on November 30, 1961, with a non-combat incurred permanent
disability rating of 10 percent. On May 8, 1962, he accepted a
civilian position with the Department of the Navy, U.S. Naval Station,
Key West, Florida.  The member was subject to the $10,000 yearly
limitation on combined civilian earnings and military retired pay
as contained in section 212 of the act of June 30, 1932, as amended,
5 U.S.C. 59a.(1958)
