PART 837_REEMPLOYMENT OF ANNUITANTS--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart C_Coverage and Contributions
 
Sec. 837.304  Agency liability for payments.

    (a) The agency will remit funds properly withheld from the pay of a 
reemployed annuitant in accordance with this subpart to OPM in the 
manner prescribed for the transmission of withholdings and contributions 
as soon as possible, but not later than provided by standards 
established by OPM.
    (b) When the employing agency fails to withhold from the pay of the 
reemployed annuitant some or all of the amounts required to be withheld 
from that pay by this subpart, the employee has received an overpayment 
of pay. The employing agency must collect the overpayment of pay (unless 
it is waived under 5 U.S.C. 5584 or some other applicable statute) and 
remit the proper funds to OPM in the manner prescribed for the 
transmission of withholdings and contributions as soon as possible, but 
not later than provided by standards established by OPM.
    (c) If the employing agency waives the annuitant's repayment of the 
salary overpayment, it must submit--on behalf of the reemployed 
annuitant--an amount equal to the correct deduction from pay (or the 
balance due in the case of a partial deduction) to OPM in the manner 
prescribed for the transmission of withholdings and contributions as 
soon as possible, but not later than provided by standards established 
by OPM.
