Highlights
A Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) employee requested waiver of severance pay, lump-sum annual leave payments, and retroactive retirement payments which were deducted from her backpay award. GAO held that the deductions did not exceed the backpay award and therefore did not result in a net indebtedness to the government. Accordingly, waiver was denied.
