OC. a O54B A V1) B-202201 April 23, 192 Snohonish, Washington 98290 Dear Mrs. This letter is in response to yours dated March 10, 1982, in which you request reconsideration of Comptroller General decision ii-202201, December 23, 1981, denying your application for a waiver of the collection of salary overpayments you received between 1973 and 1979 as the result of payroll deduc- tion errors. Waiver was denied because throughout those years you were furnished with Leave and Earnings Statements, and from the outset you could have discovered the errors yourself and taken corrective action if you had examined those state- ments. You failed to do that. Given those circimstances, there w~s no alternative but to conclude that you were partially at fault in the matter, and that you were therefore ineligible fot a grant of waiver under the terms of the waiver statute, 5 U.S.C. 5584. In requesting reconsideration, you first of all question the propriety of your being held liable to refund the over- payments you received a'ounting to 5688.42 because the Departient f the Army failed to deduct Federal Emplo'ee Group Life Inrnc (FEGLI) 3re1iunz from your salary between 1973 and 1979. Essentially, you sgest that the fact that the Army wa s at fault in causinq the error and failing to detect it until 1979 was overlooked. You also question whether you actually had FGLI coverage between 1973 and 1979, and whether you are now improperly -ein, required to pay for insurance coverage you did not havre. Second, you question the extent of your obligation to refund the over pnts amounting to $708.23 that you received b-cause_ social urity taxes instead of Civil Service retire- ment contribution- were erroneously deducted from your salary. Again, noting that) the A:ily was at fault in causing the error, you say that you would prefer to defer repayment of the $708.23 arount until you become eligible for retirement. Also, at the time of 7our retirement you want to have the option of either paying the required arount or taking a reduced annuity.
