The federal government is looking to get back roughly $7 million from over a thousand Navy retirees after a system glitch resulted in them being overpaid for close to four years. A system error that miscalculated service time created about a $6.8 billion loss by paying 1,283 Navy retirees larger monthly payments than they were owed from August 2019 until February 2023. "It’s a double whammy," Devin Morrison, a 52-year-old former executive officer of the Naval Medical Center in San Diego who retired in 2021, told NBC News. Morrison was one of those who already saw his monthly pay reduced, losing about $762 from March to April. "From there, the Navy thoroughly investigated the issue, determined the affected population and decided on corrective actions," a Navy spokesperson told NBC News.
