Employee requests waiver of erroneous payments occurring prior to formal notification of error by the agency. The request is denied because he knew or had reason to know of the error before formal agency notification. Therefore, collection of the overpayment is not considered to be against equity, good conscience, or in the best interest of the United States, even though the employee brought the situation to the attention of the proper authorities and sought explanation or correction of the error. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-260849/html/GAOREPORTS-B-260849.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-260849/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-260849.pdf GAO/B-260849 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-260849 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-260849; Bruce C.
