DECISION





FILE:  B-191785


F:   Waiver of overpayments of F6Teign
     Service annuities

1.  Seetton 1112(c) of title 22, United
    States Code, provides for recovery
    of overpayments of annuities to
    Foreign Service annuitants who are
    reemployed by the Federal Government.
    Such overpayments may be considered
    for waiver under 22 U.S.C. 1076a(d)
    since such subsection provides for
    waiver of overpayments of Foreign
    Service innuities Finder subchap-
    ter VIII of title .'2, United States
    Code, when the ihdividual is without
    fault and rerovery would be egainst
    equity and god conscience or adminis-
    tratively tiifeasible, and section 1112
    is contained in subchapter VIII.


           2.  Overpayment's of Foreign Service annuities
               under 22 U.S.C. 1112 may be waived under
               22 U.S.C. 1076a(d), on and after October 1,
               1976 (effective dateof waiver statute),
               even though such overpayments were made
               before October 1, 1976; however, refund may
               not be made of amounts of overpayments
               already recovered from annuitants since
               22 U.S.C. 1076a contains no such refund pro-
    -          visions.

    This  action is in respinse to a letter dated April 21, 1978,
with enclosures, from the Honorable Ben H. Read, Deputy Under
Secretary of State for Management, requesting the views of this
Office concerning the applicability of the waiver provisions con-
tained in section 822(d) of the Foreign Service Act (22 U.S.C.
1076a(d)) (1976), as added by Section 506 of Title V, Foreign
Relations Authorization Act, fiscal year 1977, ublic Law 94-350,
approved July 12, 1976, 90 Stat. 823, 838, to the provisions
governing overpayment of annuities contained in section 872 of the
Foreign Service j.ct (22 U.S.C. 1112 (1976)). Additionally, it is
requested that should it be concluded that the waiver provisions
are applicable, our guidance is sought on several additional
questions.
