MEREDITH, Petitioner,v.OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, Respondent.
No. 88-3282.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
Nov. 8, 1988.

Before MARKEY, Chief Judge, and RICH and EDWARD S. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

DECISION

1
Fern C. Meredith (Meredith) appeals from a decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board (Board), docket SF08318710680, affirming the Office of Personnel Management's denial of her requests for a spouse's survivor annuity and lump sum death benefit.  We affirm and remand.

OPINION

2
The Board's decision cannot be reversed under the statutory criteria.  5 U.S.C. Sec. 7703(c) (1982).  Meredith was divorced from Mr. Meredith when he died;  she was married to him for only four years;  he had withdrawn more than he had paid in.  We remand with instructions to pay Meredith $1,519.94 (correcting a government-admitted error in calculating the pro rata portion of an annuity accrued before Mr. Meredith died).
