- 3 - long-standing, ongoing disputes with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)2 concerning whether OPM gave him proper credit towards his annuity for his military service.3 Petitioner claims that because OPM failed to give him proper credit for certain military service, his annuity benefits have been less than they should have been. In 1986, OPM determined that petitioner was overpaid annuity benefits for prior periods in the amount of $7,291. Consequently, OPM began collecting the overpayment by deducting, or withholding, $202.52 from petitioner's monthly annuity distributions. Through this method, as of August 31, 1989, OPM had collected the entire amount of the overpayment, and the deductions from petitioner's annuity distributions did not continue beyond that date. For various reasons, petitioner does not necessarily agree that he was overpaid for the earlier years, nevertheless, through the deductions from his monthly annuity benefits he "repaid" $1,620.16 to OPM in 1989. No other repayments were made by petitioner to OPM during 1989. No repayments of annuity benefits, through deductions from petitioner's pension benefits or otherwise, were made by petitioner to OPM during 1990 and 1991. 2OPM is responsible for the administration of the CSRS. 3In this regard see Seltzer v. Office of Personnel Management, 833 F.2d 975 (Fed. Cir. 1987).Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next
