Turner - Pf x&57/'- rWaiver of overpayment DIGEST: March 23, 1981 Waiver of overpayment is denied because reemployed annuitant was partially at fault where he received statements of leave and earnings which reflected unduly large increase for pay period after general pay increase. Also, since employee knew his pay was required to be offset by amount of annuity he is simi- larly at fault where he received leave and earnings statements that failed to reflect reduction in pay for pay periods after he received increase in annuity. Mr. Robert A. Turner requests reconsideration of our Claims Division's January 8, 1980 denial of his application for waiver of his debt to the United States in the amount of $858.88. The debt arose from overpayment through administra- tive errors in the computation of his pay as a Department of the Army civilian employee. The denial is sustained. Mr. Turner, a retired Government employee, was reinstated as a career employee (reemployed annuitant) with the United States Army Tank Automotive Material Readiness Command effective July 12, 1976, at the GS-13, step 7 level. Under 5 U.S.C. 8344, the pay of that position, $27,490, was reduced by the amount of his annuity, $14,664, and he was paid a reduced salary of $12,826. He was correctly paid until the pay period ending October 23, 1976, at which time an administrative error was made in computing his pay to reflect the October general pay increase. For the pay period ending October 23, 1976, he did not receive the authorized increase and was underpaid by $64. However, for the pay period ending November 6, 1976, he received a paycheck of $284.80 in excess of his prior paycheck and he was therefore overpaid by $120.80. After receiving a step increase from GS-13/7 to GS-13/8 effective November 7, 1976, he was overpaid $29.60 each pay period for the pay periods ending November 20, 1976, through February 26,.1977. Effective March 1, 1977, Mr. Turner received an increase in his monthly annuity in the amount of $59. The payroll 9/Ig247
