  MATTER4J4078
                 Joseph M. Vere - Waiver of Salary Overpayrnents
  DIGEST:
              Waiver of overpayment is granted to employee of
              United States Army Audit Agency (USAAA) who
              continued to have pay checks sent to bank after
              transfer to Agency for International DevelopTent.
              Employee was not at fault in failing to notify USAAA
              until arrival at new duty station in Dominican
              Republic as mail was sent directly to Dominican
              Republic while employee attcrded training in
              Washinrgton and had no knowledge of overpayment
              at that time.

    This ction is an apeal from an action of our Transportation and
lM;     Livilicr (now Claims Division), dated January 7, 1975, which
d-nied waiver of a clim of the United States against Mr. Joseph vi.

1973), as imp lemented by sections 91-E3 of title 4, Code of Federal
Regulation-s (1975).

    The record shows that, as an employee of the U. S. Army Audit
Agency (US*ALA),  'estern District, Pedwocd City, California,
Mr.  Vere was paid in r gross amount of l, 038.40 at a time when
ie was entitle(d to $250. CO, resulting in an overpay .cnt in the gross
aCunt  of $ 7 7. 8 0, Subsecuently, Ar. Vere repaid $300 leaving a
balance of 2478.80. The overpayment, consisting of two biweekly pay
checks, was the result of administrative error in continuing to submit
time and attendance cards for i.r. Vere after he had left USAAA to
accept a position with the Agency for International Development (AID).

    Mr. Vere left his position with USAAA on November 28, 1970.
He began a training course with AID in Washington, D. C., on
December  3, 1970. Hie then departed Washington for thc Dominican
Republic on December 28, 1S70. The overpayment occurred during
the period from November 29 through December 19, 1970, while
Mr.  Vere was in Washington, D. C. The checks were railed directly
to Mr. Vere's bank in Texas.

   * When Mr. Vere arrived in the Dominican R'epublic in January 1971,
he notified USAAA that he had apparently been overpaid, and on
January 29, 1P71, USAAA requ.sted repayment in the arnount of
$38. 24 without further explanation. Vr. Vere repaid this amount.
This repayment, however, was for an overpayment for the pay period
