KEYWORDS: Waiver of indebtedness

DIGEST: Erroneous under-deduction of an employee’s Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) premiums resulted in a debt to the government. Since the employee knew or should have known that there was an error and since he received the benefit of the FEGLI coverage, waiver of the debt is not appropriate under 5 U.S.C. § 5584.
