[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing but sympathy. I learned to watch my pay statements like a hawk because my overseas entitlements change so frequently. After my most recent PCS back to DC, it took several months for my hardship differential to stop. I emailed HR multiple times about it, knowing that I would be expected to pay it back. It took MONTHS for payroll to get it right. And then they were like, you must pay this back immediately. I'd kept the overpayment in a savings account so was ready to return it in a lump sum, but it was still an incredibly annoying process. Like, how come the government got all the time it wanted to get its accounting right, and I had mere days to correct its mistake before my wages would be garnished? I would have been in for a world of hurt had I not noticed and planned accordingly. And to you naysayers, it's really easy not to notice when you do direct deposit and have a lot of payroll deductions (my take-home is generally about 40% of my actual gross) and bills on autopay.[/quote]

+1 - I'm the PP that said I was dealing with something similar - all of it was overseas entitlements that were mistakenly turned on.[/quote]
