Waiver of Claims for Salary Overpayment (DOT 2730.IG)

Effective Date: 05-03-2019

This Order establishes policy and responsibilities of Department of Transportation (DOT) Operating Administrations (OAs), with the exception of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC), in managing the waiver claim process rising from en-oneous payment of salary to DOT employees.

It is the Department's policy to comply with the standards for waiver of claims identified in 5 U.S.C. § 5584 and ensure that employee requests for waiver of overpayment of pay and allowances are resolved by investigating the overpayment and coordinating the resolution of the employee's waiver claim.

DOT is committed to ensuring that information is available in appropriate alternative formats to meet the requirements of persons who have a disability. If you require an alternative version of files provided on this page, please contact disability@dot.gov.
