The Board granted the waiver of recovery of an overpayment of educational benefits in the calculated amount of $665.61, as it would be against equity and good conscience to recover the debt.
The deciding factor: Recovery of the overpayment was waived due to no indication of fraud, misrepresentation, or bad faith on the part of the appellant, and recovery would cause undue financial hardship and defeat the purpose of providing educational assistance.
