The Board has determined that the pension overpayment of $679 was properly created and calculated based on the appellant's receipt of a one-time bonus in 1999, which was correctly counted as income for pension purposes.
The deciding factor: The Board found no error in the computation of the appellant's annual countable income or the resulting overpayment at issue.
