Partial waiver was granted for the period prior to the date that a fellow employee wrote to the agency on behalf of both of them inquiring about the propriety of the allowance being paid. The employee appeals the partial waiver disallowance, arguing that he did not know of the overpayment until so notified by the agency. The appeal is denied. The employee knew or should have known at the time the letter was sent that the allowance being received was at the incorrect rate. Therefore, collection of the debt for the period after the date of the letter is not against equity and good conscience and is in the best interest of the United States. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-261294/html/GAOREPORTS-B-261294.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-261294/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-261294.pdf GAO/B-261294 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-261294 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-261294; Eric A.
