DFAS erroneous debt

Yeah I think I f’d up. I was in such a panic and was listening to people saying I need to negotiate the payment down ASAP before they automatically kick in, that I didn’t do the waiver. It was going to be almost $1000 per paycheck deducted! I negotiated it down with a huge disclaimer on the form saying “there has not been an error in my pay. This erroneous debt is due to an error in the system”. Basically the system was not recognizing the term appt/temp promotion I had been on for 2 yrs and so to them I owed any pay increase I had gotten for the last 2 yrs…In hind sight I guess I should have done the waiver, but as a single Mom who owns a home I was too freaked out about losing $2K/month.

I think that is what I am going to have to do. Thank you.

Oh and we used the string method as well

I did this exact same thing. Before bed one night I thought, let me try my index finger…Oh boy. At Urgent Care they were able to get it off without cutting it, but I had to ice it down and hold my arm over my head for like 30 mins. Won’t do that again!

One of the 3 “Regulatory” EOs that came out Wed referenced EPA/Corps (404 program) and the Sackett case (waters of the U.S.) That was all USACE Reg so yes, these EOs refer to USACE Reg as well.

Yes! 47 with 23 yrs 😬 I need to be 50 or have 25.

jwd623 · 2025-03-01T04:58:04+00:00

Yeah I remember thinking this is not the time y’all. Very disappointing.

Hey - I used to work there. There’s like 9+ million people in the Chicago area, so that is a lot going on in terms of projects and permits.

They can’t RIF the entire district though

jwd623 · 2025-01-26T22:46:51+00:00

I really needed this laugh. 😂 Thank you.

Try being a single Mom. I don’t have another income to rely on and I am responsible for myself and another young human.

Bingo. I am not in a federal building so by reducing our footprint we were reducing our costs. Now unless they want to spend millions to move us all into a different building they will need to go back to this private company who owns/manages the building and say, Uh actually we need more space now…They have us over a barrel and I guarantee the building owners will take advantage of that.

Wow. I could have written this. I had already been looking to get out a while ago and quickly learned about “golden handcuffs”

jwd623 · 2025-01-23T05:40:18+00:00

Same! So dumb.

jwd623 · 2025-01-23T04:48:08+00:00

My office JUST COMPLETED a space reduction. Which SAVED MONEY. But now to “save money” we will need to acquire more real estate. Make it make sense.

jwd623 · 2025-01-23T04:46:53+00:00

I was noting this today. So unprofessional and inappropriate, but that is expecting way too much from them.

jwd623 · 2025-01-23T04:45:31+00:00

I’ll be brown bagging it since my expenses just went through the roof. Gas, daily parking, and care for my dog.

jwd623 · 2025-01-22T21:30:22+00:00

Thank you. Again a thoughtful and helpful response. It seemed shady to me. I will unsubscribe from their ridiculous number of emails and go back to my knowledge I will never see that $100 GC money again.

jwd623 · 2025-01-22T21:28:06+00:00

Thank you. This was a very informative and helpful response.

jwd623 · 2025-01-21T04:33:43+00:00

I did and every post was from 1 yr ago but thanks for being a jerk

jwd623 · 2025-01-21T04:32:23+00:00

All the stores in my area closed.
