DIGEST



Employee received a comparability pay adjustment in

January 1989 but was also erroneously granted a step

increase from GS-ll, step 4, to GS-II, step 5, with the

resulting erroneous pay increases until the error was

discovered 2 years later, seeks waiver of the debt. Since

he received an SF-50 clearly showing the erroneous step 5,

and he also received leave and earnings statements for- each

2-week pay period which showed the incorrect step, as a

reasonable person, he should have been on notice of the

error, and he had a duty to inquire as to the accuracy of

his pay. His failure to do so makes him at least partially

at fault, which statutorily precludes waiver of the overpay-

ment of pay.
