D.C. 20548 DATE: April 28, 1981 Lee A. Kirsch -Request for Waiver of Overpaymenj Employee received excess foreign allowances through administrative error. Though foreign allowances owed to the employee fluctuated, the employee should have been on notice of possible overpayment when he began to receive allowance approximately 3 1/2 times the amounts he had been receiving. Request for waiver is denied since his failure to make inquiry about such large discrepancies indi- cates that he was partially at fault.

Kirschhas appealed the partial denial by our Claims Division of his application for waiver of the claim of the United States against him. The claim resulted from an overpayment to Mr. Kirsch of foreign al- lowances in the amount of $4,722.87. Mr. Kirsch was employed, during the relevant time, by the Department of the Army as an Assistant Principal at Weisbaden High School, Weisbaden, Germany. Mr. Kirsch tas overpaid and underpaid various foreign post allowances for the pay periods extending3from August 6, 1977, through March 17, 1979. The overpayments amounted L to a total of $4,722.87 and the underpayments totaled $916.86.EThe errors in payments occurred due to changes in the foreign currency rates and administrative and computation errors3made by the Civilian Personnel office of the Army. Mr. KirschLmaintains that due to the constantly fluctuating rates of pay, post allowances, and living allowances, his checks were rarely the same amount. He found it virtually impossible to compute my---.ust '- pay and have long since quit trying. Of the 43 Crelevant pay periodsTMr. Kirsch notes hat in all but 11 of them, he was either underpaid or overpaid. Li __
