DECISION'





FILE: B-19555

MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


1. When an Army member is involuntarily
    separated from but later retroactively
    restored to active duty under the
    statute authorizing the correction of
    military records, 10 U.S.C. 1552, the
    monetary claims settlement to be con-
    cluded under that statute depends upon
    the member's legal entitlements and
    liabilities based solely upon proper
    application of the pertinent laws and
    regulations to the corrected record;
    thus, in the claims settlement the
    member is entitled to military backpay
    but is liable to refund any severance
    payments previously received under the
    corrected record showing he was not
    separated from active duty.

2. After a claims settlement is concluded
    in the'case of an Army member retro-
    actively restored to active duty
    status through the correction of his
    military records, the member may apply
    for an equitable adjustment of the
    settlement by requesting waiver under
    the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 2774 of
    erroneous severance payments appearing
    as liabilities in the settlement state-
    ment; ordinarily waiver will be favor-
    ably considered only to the extent of
    preventing the member from having a
    net indebtedness upon his actual return
    to active duty.

3. An Army officer who-was retroactively
    restored to active duty through the
    correction of his military records and
    who returned to active service with a
    net backpay award of $15,710.60 under
    his claims settlement, was nevertheless
