Highlights

A Navy employee requested reconsideration of the Claims Group's denial of a waiver for an overpayment. GAO found that, although the employee received a temporary promotion to a higher grade, she continued to receive a pay increase after she returned to her former position. GAO held that: (1) the employee reasonably assumed that the Navy was initiating action to extend her temporary promotion, since she continued to perform temporary duties at the Navy's request; (2) the employee properly notified the Navy of a subsequent overpayment which resulted from an erroneous step increase; and (3) there was no evidence of fraud on the part of the employee. Accordingly, the waiver was granted.
