[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every agency (should) have a process to handle a debt waiver request.  Generally there is somebody at your agency who has authority to make those decisions.  Usually these involve current employees so being a separated employee I'm not sure if that will complicate things.  I would immediately make a request for a waiver of this debt in writing and send it certified mail to your head of HR.

For other posters, just because a person is overpaid does not mean they have any idea it is happening.  I have seen instances where HR incorrectly put a person into FERS instead of FERS-RAE or FERS-FRAE.  Do you even know what those mean and what the different withholding percentages are for each program?  Most people would have no clue when looking at their ELS, yet one wrong click of a button by an underpaid, undertrained HR "specialist" could leave you on the hook for thousands of dollars that you didn't even know you were being overpaid for.[/quote]

This makes sense to me.  Maybe she should have caught it with the W-2 forms.  When you have a f/t job, kids, kids' activities, a house to maintain, the dog to walk-seriously, are you going to notice on a month to month basis that you're getting overpaid?[/quote]
