CSRS Service Credit Payments for Post-1956 Military Service 3Chapter 23
CSRS and FERS Handbook April 1998
Section 23A1.1-2 Background
A. "Catch 62" Before September 8, 1982, Civil Service annuitants who were eligible forSocial Security at age 62 could not receive credit for military serviceperformed after 1956 even if it had previously been credited in thecomputation of their annuity benefits. When an annuitant retired before age62 and post-1956 military service was included in the annuity computation,it had to be deleted at the end of the month before his or her 62nd birthday,if he or she was eligible for Social Security at that time. The rule wascommonly referred to as "catch 62" since it affected retirees at age 62.
B. Military Deposit The CSRS law was changed in 1982 with respect to the crediting of militaryservice for annuity computation purposes.
The law now provides that any individual first employed in a positionsubject to CSRS on or after October 1, 1982, receives credit for title andannuity computation purposes for post-1956 military service only if he orshe deposits with the employing agency a sum equal to 7 percent of themilitary basic pay he or she earned during the period of military service,plus interest.
Individuals who were first employed under CSRS before October 1, 1982,can receive, under certain circumstances, credit for post-1956 militaryservice without making the deposit, potentially undergoing an annuityreduction for the post-1956 military service at age 62, or making thedeposit and avoiding a possible reduction.
NOTE: See Chapter 22, Creditable Military Service, Part 22A4 foradditional information on the crediting of post-1956 militaryservice.
C. Where DepositIs Made
Except as noted in section 23A1.1-4, all military deposits must be made tothe employing agency.

The agency should inform the employee that final adjudication of hisor her annuity will be delayed.
3. Except as noted in paragraph A2 above, under current rules, aseparated employee may not make a military service deposit.
B. Special Rule: Certain FormerEmployees
A former employee who separated after September 8, 1982, and beforeOctober 1, 1983, with title to a deferred annuity, may make a militaryservice deposit at the time he or she applies for the deferred annuity. Thedeposit must be made in a lump sum directly to OPM and may be made atany time prior to final adjudication of the application for deferred annuity.
Exception: If the employee is reemployed after October 1, 1983, and thereemployment results in a new annuity right, the rules forcurrent employees apply.
C. Survivor A survivor of a deceased employee may make a military service deposit. Unlike employees, survivors may only pay the deposit in a lump sum. Forthe most part, the procedures for obtaining the basic pay, computing thedeposit and processing the payment are the same for survivors. Specificinformation about the effect of the military deposit on the survivor annuitycomputation and the special rules for military retired pay recipients who diein service are discussed in Chapter 70, Spouse Benefits - Death of anEmployee.

Section 23A1.1-5 Refund of Deposit
A. Refund BeforeRetirement
Any money paid as a military deposit is refunded to a separated employeewho applies for and is entitled to a refund of all retirement deductions. (SeeChapter 32, Refunds, for additional details.)
B. Refund ofDeposit UponApplication forRetirement
The following rules apply to refunds of deposits upon application forretirement.
1. Completed Deposits.Except as provided in rules 2, 3, and 4 below, a completed depositmay not be returned to an employee who is entitled to annuity benefitsat the time of application.
2. Alternative Annuity Elections.If a retiring employee is eligible for and elects the alternative annuityupon retirement, he or she will receive a lump-sum payment equal tohis or her total contributions to the retirement fund, including anymilitary service deposits. The military deposit cannot be deemed paidat retirement when the employee elects the alternative annuity. Theamount of the deposit must be paid to the employing agency prior tothe employee's separation. (See Chapter 53, Alternative AnnuityElections, for additional details.)
3. Military Retirees.Employees who receive military retired pay and choose not to waiveit will receive a refund of all money paid toward a military deposit atretirement. A retiring employee who receives a refund of his or herdeposit because of a decision not to waive military retired pay maynot redeposit that money at a later date, unless he or she isreemployed and acquires a new annuity right. (See section 23A1.1-4,paragraph B.)
4. Service not creditable.A completed deposit is automatically refunded by OPM if the servicecovered by the deposit is not creditable for retirement purposes (forexample, the employee was dishonorably discharged).
Note: When counseling CSRS disability retirees eligible for theminimum basic annuity benefit, agencies should prepare acomputation of the employee's benefit with and without themilitary service to see if it will affect the annuity. If theemployee has not paid the military deposit, he or she maydecide not to pay if it would not increase the annuity. However, if the employee has paid the military deposit, the

B. Refund ofDeposit UponApplication forRetirement(Cont.)
employee does not qualify for a refund. The fact that themilitary service does not increase the amount of the employee'sbenefit does not make the service "not creditable" for thepurpose of paying a refund of the military deposit.
5. Incomplete Deposits.OPM automatically refunds an incomplete deposit for a period ofmilitary service to a separated employee when it adjudicates his or herapplication for retirement benefits, unless the incomplete deposit willpay for one or more full periods of military service.
If the employee has more than one period of military service and theincomplete deposit will cover all of the deposit for at least one of theperiods, OPM will refund only the part of the deposit in excess of theamount needed to cover one or more full periods of military service.
Example:
Period of DepositService Owed
3-15-60 to 9-12-62 $350.004-2-65 to 6-28-66 250.00Total $600.00
Deposit made by employee = $500.00
Since the deposit made by the employee is sufficient to pay for theperiod of service from 3-15-60 to 9-12-62, the employee receives arefund of $150.00.
NOTE: This example does not consider any interest that may haveaccrued on the unpaid deposit amount.
C. When a MilitaryService CreditDeposit May BeRepaid
If a CSRS employee separates from Federal service and receives a refund ofhis or her military service deposit made to the Fund and is reemployedunder CSRS, he or she may repay the military service credit deposit. Interest begins to accrue on the unpaid balance the date the refund was paid.

"I wish to pay the deposit necessary to obtain credit for my military serviceafter 1956. I understand that the entire deposit must be paid to my agencybefore separation for retirement and that if I do not complete the deposit atthat time, the post-1956 military service will not be used to compute myannuity after age 62, if I am eligible for Social Security benefits at thattime. Any incomplete deposit that will not pay for one or more full periodsof military service will be refunded. Otherwise, my deposit is refundableonly if I become eligible for a refund of civil service retirementcontributions, or retire without waiving my military retired pay (if any).
"I further understand that the military deposit cannot be deemed paid atretirement if I am eligible for and elect an alternative annuity. If I do electthe alternative annuity upon retirement, any completed military deposits thatI have made to the Fund will be refunded to me along with any otherretirement contributions or payments I made to the Fund."
For CSRS employees first employed after October 1, 1982, the statementshould be modified as follows.
"I wish to pay the deposit necessary to obtain credit for my military serviceafter 1956. I understand that the entire deposit must be paid to my agencybefore separation for retirement and that if I do not complete the deposit atthat time, the post-1956 military service will not be used to compute orestablish title to a CSRS annuity.

Section 23A3.1-2 Computing the Amount of Creditable Military Service
A. Amount ofCreditableMilitary Service
Compute the amount of military service to be credited to the individual asfollows.
1. Determine the beginning and ending dates of creditable militaryservice from the individual's DD Form 214(s). (See Chapter 22 for acomplete discussion of creditable military service.)
2. Record the period of service in item 5 of OPM Form 1514, MilitaryDeposit Worksheet. (See subchapter 23C for a sample copy of OPMForm 1514.)
3. Subtract the beginning date from the ending date.
NOTE: For computation purposes, add one day to the ending dateunless it was the 31st of the month.
The result is the years, months, and days of military service.
4. Subtract "lost time," if applicable. (Until 1979 "lost time" wasgenerally recorded on the DD Form 214 as "days lost under UniformCode of Military Justice, Article 86," or as " days AWOL." Since1979, "lost time" has been subtracted from the period of service listedon the DD Form 214, and the form shows only "good time.")
The result is the creditable years, months, and days of service for theindividual.
5. Record this information in item 6 on the OPM Form 1514, MilitaryDeposit Worksheet.

Section 23A3.1-3 Determining the Amount of Basic Pay
A. Determination ofBasic Pay
Each period of service is considered independently. Note that a depositperiod cannot begin before January 1, 1957. If a period of service straddlesthat date, determine the basic pay earned only for service after December31, 1956.
Note: The employee does not have to pay a military service depositfor periods when he or she was on military leave with payfrom the employing agency. If the period of service includestime when the employee was on military leave, determine thebasic pay earned for the period excluding the period covered bymilitary leave. (See The Guide to Processing Personnel Actions(formerly FPM Supplement 296-33) for a discussion of"military leave.")
Enter the amount of earnings in item 7 of the Military Deposit Worksheet,OPM Form 1514.
1. Take the following steps if the amount of earnings is based on paydocuments.
• Compute the basic pay earned from the pay documentsprovided.
• Total the pay for each period of service. Use only basic payearned. Do not include allowances, flight pay, combat pay, etc.
• Prepare and certify Form RI 20-97, identifying the paydocuments from which the earnings have been estimated.
• File the Form RI 20-97 on the right hand side of the employee'sOPF.
2. Take the following steps if the amount of earnings is based on astatement of estimated earnings from the branch of service.
• Use the total estimated earnings given.
• File the Form RI 20-97 on the right side of the employee'sOPF.

Section 23A3.1-4 Computing the Deposit
A. General The amount of the deposit is 7 percent of the basic pay (see section23A2.1-2) earned during the period(s) of service, plus interest.
NOTE: The information in this chapter has not been updated to reflectthe passage of Public Law 103-353, the Uniformed ServicesEmployment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994(USERRA), approved October 13, 1994. This legislationmakes certain types of National Guard service creditable thathad not previously been creditable and alters the method forcomputing military service credit deposits in limitedcircumstances. OPM will be publishing regulations on how thislegislation affects CSRS and FERS employees. Untilregulations are published, information on those aspects of thelaw that are reasonably clear is published in BenefitsAdministration Letter 95-101 dated January 27, 1995.

B. Deposit Formula As stated in section 23A2.1-2, the employee is responsible for providingdocumentation of basic pay earned. Use the amount provided to determinethe deposit due.
Deposit Formula:
Deposit = Amount of Earnings x 7%
Round the product to the nearest dollar (that is, $0.50 or more round up,$0.49 or less round down).
EXAMPLE: Earnings $ 6,430Multiplied by 7% x .07Equals $ 450.10

C. Adding Interest Interest begins to accrue on deposits for post-1956 military service onOctober 1, 1985, or 2 years after an individual is first employed (orreemployed after a period of military service) in a position subject to CSRS. See 23A3.1-5, paragraph A, for more information.
Unlike the deposit for civilian service, the interest on deposits for post-1956military service accrues and compounds annually on the employee'spersonal Interest Accrual Date or IAD. (See 23A3.1-5, paragraph B, fordetails.) Because the interest accrual period will not generally coincide withthe calendar year, two interest rates may apply. (Interest rates are set on acalendar year basis.)
It is the agency's responsibility to compute interest on deposits forpost-1956 military service. Detailed instructions for computing the interestare included in section 23A3.1-5.
CSRS Service Credit Payments for Post-1956 Military Service 21Chapter 23
CSRS and FERS Handbook April 1998
Section 23A3.1-5 Computing the Interest
A. General Rules The CSRS law provides a 2-year interest-free grace period on deposits. After the 2-year period, interest is accrued and compounded annually.
1. For employees first employed prior to October 1, 1983, intereststarted accruing October 1, 1985. The earliest possible interestposting for an unpaid military service deposit is October 1, 1986.
2. For employees first employed on or after October 1, 1983, intereststarted 2 years from the date the individual was first employed subjectto CSRS. The first IAD is 1 year later, that is, 3 years from the datethe individual was first employed subject to CSRS.
3. If military service was performed after the date of first employmentand after October 1, 1983, interest for that period of military servicestarts 2 years from the date the employee returns to a position subjectto CSRS or CSRS Offset.
4. For employees first employed subject to CSRS deductions prior toOctober 1, 1983, but separated before October 1, 1982, interest startsto accrue 2 years from the date the employee is reemployed in aposition subject to CSRS or FERS.
NOTE: Because interest accrues annually, there is, in effect, a3-year interest-free period if the deposit is paid in fullbefore the first IAD. However, interest will accrue duringthe year following the 2-year grace period on any amountnot deposited before the first IAD.

B. Interest AccrualDate (IAD)
The Interest Accrual Date or IAD is the date each year when accruedinterest is added to the amount of deposit owed by the employee. Theemployee's first IAD is the date 1 year after the date the interest-free graceperiod ends. Thereafter, the IAD falls each year on the anniversary of thefirst IAD until the deposit is paid. Interest compounds (becomes part of thedeposit due) annually on the employee's IAD.

to Interest 10-1-85IAD 10-1-86
Computing the IAD:
The initial IAD for employees who perform military service after the datethey are first hired in a position covered by CSRS (including CSRS Offset)and after October 1, 1983, is 3 years from the date the employee returns toa position subject to CSRS retirement deductions.
EXAMPLE:

C. Accruing andCompoundingInterestAnnually
When the employee first reaches his or her initial IAD, the agency mustcompute and post the first interest charge. The computation is based uponthe account balance as of the day before the IAD.
NOTE: Interest is not charged on deposits for the year they are paid infull as long as it is prior to the IAD. (See section 23A3.1-5,paragraph J for a discussion of timely remittances.)
Thereafter, unless the deposit balance is paid in full during the year, interestmust be computed on the unpaid balance and posted each year on theemployee's IAD until the deposit is paid in full. The subsequent interestcharges are computed on the deposit balance as of the day before the IAD.

Interest rates on CSRS military service deposits are computed on a calendaryear basis, January 1 through December 31. Thus, the interest rate to becharged on an IAD of October 1 reflects 3 months of the interest rate of theprior calendar year (October through December) and 9 months of theinterest rate of the calendar year in which the interest is posted (Januarythrough September). (See section 23C1.1-4 for composite interest ratecharts.)

E. Compute InterestRate
Interest rates on CSRS military service deposits are computed on a calendaryear basis, January 1 through December 31. Thus, the interest rate to becharged on an IAD of October 1 reflects 3 months of the interest rate of theprior calendar year (October through December) and 9 months of theinterest rate of the calendar year in which the interest is posted (Januarythrough September). See section 23C1.1-4 for composite interest ratecharts.
F. Computation ofComposite InterestRate forEmployees FirstEmployed underCSRS prior toOctober 1, 1983
If the employee makes the deposit prior to the first IAD, no interest ischarged.
The composite rate for interest posting is computed as follows.
Fraction of interest in prior calendar year =
30 (days in a month) x 3 (Oct through Dec) = .2500 360 (days in a year)
Fraction of interest in calendar year posting occurs =
1.0000 - .2500 = .7500

EXAMPLE: Computation of composite rate for October 1, 1986, posting.
1985 interest rate - 13.000% x .2500 = 3.250%
1986 interest rate - 11.125% x .7500 = 8.344%
Composite Rate = 3.25% + 8.344% = 11.594%
G. Computation ofComposite InterestRate forEmployees FirstEmployed UnderCSRS On or AfterOctober 1, 1983
In determining the fractions of the year-long interest computation periodthat fall into each of the two relevant calendar years, all months arepresumed to be 30 days in length (except for using the actual number ofdays in the month containing the IAD--see example below) and the year ispresumed to be 360 days long.
1. The formula for determining the fraction of the year-long interestcomputation period that falls into each of the two relevant calendaryears is as follows.
F1 = (30 x M) + D - G360
F2 = 1 - F1
F1 = Fraction of interest for computation period in year 1.
F2 = Fraction of interest for computation period in year 2.
M = Total number of complete months remaining in the year, after the month that contains the last day of the interest-free graceperiod.
D = Total number of actual calendar days in the month thatcontains the last day of the interest-free grace period. Thevariable D is determined by the actual calendar days of themonth in which the IAD occurs. However, for computationpurposes, add 1 day to the variable D unless the number is31.
G = The day before the IAD.

(13% x .2111 = 2.744%) + (11.125% x .7889 = 8.777%)
Composite Rate = 2.744% + 8.777% = 11.521%
To simplify the interest computation process, OPM has prepared aComposite Interest Rate Table providing the rates for each IAD during theperiod October 1, 1986, through October 1, 1997. (See section 23C1.1-3for composite interest rate tables.)

Section 23A3.1-5 Computing the Interest (Cont.)
H. Adding InterestWhen NoPayments HaveBeen Made
Interest is assessed and posted annually on the employee's Interest AccrualDate (IAD).
The formula for computing accrued interest is as follows.
Deposit amount x Composite Interest rate = Accrued Interest(Round accrued interest due to the nearest cent.)
EXAMPLE: Military Service 7-1-60 to 6-30-62Basic Pay Received $ 6,340.00Deposit Due $ 450.00First Employed 8-1-70IAD 10-1-86
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)IAD Deposit x Composite = Interest Total
Amount Interest Rate Accrued Due (2 X 3) (2 + 4)
10-1-86 $ 450.00 11.594% $ 52.17 $ 502.1710-1-87 502.17 9.531% 47.86 550.0310-1-88 550.03 8.531% 46.92 596.9510-1-89 596.95 8.938% 53.36 650.31
I. Adding InterestWhen PartialPayments HaveBeen Made
Interest is charged on the unpaid balance as of the day before theemployee's IAD. (See discussion in paragraph K of this section.)
EXAMPLE: Using the composite interest rates in the example above,with the employee having made payments of $100.00 onJune 1, 1988, and $150.00 on September 17, 1989, theexample becomes:

Section 23A3.1-5 Computing the Interest (Cont.)
J. TimelyRemittance
1. Authorized Official
The agency is responsible for establishing the procedures foremployees to make payments to the agency, for accepting suchpayments from the employees, and for submitting the payments toOPM in accordance with OPM's instructions. As a necessary part ofthis responsibility, the agency should designate an official authorizedto provide instructions to its employees for making timely depositpayments and for accepting such payments when made.
2. Received by the Agency Before the IAD
To be considered a timely remittance, deposit payments must bereceived by the agency--that is, physically in the possession of theagency official authorized to receive these payments--by the close ofbusiness on the last regular business day before the IAD. Thus, fordeposits sent by mail, the date on the postmark does not constitute thedate of payment.
Example: Martha was first employed under CSRS on October 15, 1983. She has an initial IAD of October 15, 1986. On each October 15 thereafter,interest is added to her account based on the balance in the account as ofOctober 14 of that year until the deposit is paid in full.
If Martha mails a payment to the agency and it is received by theappropriate agency official as of the close of business on Friday, October13, 1989, its last regular business day before Martha's IAD, the amount ofthe payment is deducted from her account balance before assessing interestfor the period October 15, 1988, through October 14, 1989. If the paymentwas postmarked on Friday, October 13, 1989, but was not physically in thepossession of the appropriate agency official, the payment would not bededucted before assessing the interest charge.
K. Agency Paymentof Interest
1. Interest Charges Must Be Paid
There is no provision in law or regulation for the waiver of interestcharged on military deposit accounts. It is OPM policy that if aremittance is not timely, interest must be charged on the deposit (see5 CFR 831.105). Agencies should advise employees of this policy sothey can take the necessary steps to make timely payments if theywant to avoid the additional interest charges.

Section 23A3.1-6 Establishing the Deposit Account
A. Establishing theDeposit Account
The agency finance office must:
1. Establish an employee deposit account for accepting the depositpayment or installment payments, if any. If the employee does notmake the payment in a lump sum, a payment schedule must beestablished to permit installment payments (see section 23A2.1-3) ofat least $50 each. Agencies may, but are not required to, acceptinstallments of less than $50. Agencies may agree to an installmentschedule with the employee, but should encourage the employee tocomplete the payment as soon as possible; and
2. Enter payments in item 9, Record of Payments, on the OPM Form1514, Military Deposit Worksheet (or an equivalent, if the agency hasautomated this process).
NOTE: Survivors may not make installment payments; their paymentsmust be completed in a lump sum. (See Chapter 70 for adiscussion of survivor deposits.)

Under noconditions may a deposit made for military service be postedon the employee's regular (civilian service retirementdeductions) SF 2806. See subchapter 23C for a sample of acorrectly completed SF 2806 for military service deposit.
2. Note the following under the Service History portion of the SF 2806in order to distinguish it from the regular SF 2806,
"Military Service History and Deposit Record."
3. Post the military service history for each period of service for whichthe employee makes a deposit.
4. Indicate time lost following each entry, if applicable.
5. Post deposits for military service annually as with retirementcontributions.
IMPORTANT: Make certain that amounts paid by an employee areposted to the correct SF 2806.

Service Credit Payments for Post-1956 Military Service FERS 39Chapter 23
CSRS and FERS Handbook April 1998
Section 23B1.1-3 Background
A. Military Deposit A FERS employee may receive credit for post-1956 military service underFERS rules only if he or she deposits with the employing agency a sumequal to 3 percent of the military basic pay he or she earned during theperiod of military service, plus interest.
A deposit is necessary to use post-1956 military service both for eligibilityfor an annuity and for computation purposes.
EXAMPLE: John is 58 years old. He has 8 years of creditable civilianservice and 3 years of post-1956 military service. If he makes his post-1956 military deposit, he can retire under the MRA + 10 provision. If hedoes not make the deposit, he is not eligible to retire until age 62.
NOTE: See Chapter 22 for additional information on the crediting ofmilitary service.
B. Where DepositIs Made
Military deposits must be made to the employing agency.

April 1998 CSRS and FERS Handbook
Section 23B1.1-4 Service Subject to FERS Military Service Deposit Rules
A. Service Subjectto FERSMilitary ServiceDeposit Rules
Military service is subject to FERS rules on military service deposits if:
• The employee was automatically subject to FERS onJanuary 1, 1987;
• The employee was automatically covered by FERS upon conversionfrom a position excluded from FERS to a position covered by FERS;
• The employee was automatically covered by FERS upon reenteringservice after January 1, 1987;
• The employee performed the military service after transferring toFERS, regardless of whether he or she will be eligible for a CSRSannuity component; or
• The employee elected FERS coverage sometime afterJune 30, 1987, and had less than 5 years of civilian service (notcounting any civilian service covered simultaneously by both SocialSecurity and CSRS after December 31, 1983) before the effective dateof the election.
EXAMPLE: Edith performed military service from 7-1-76 to 6-30-78. She was appointed to a career appointment under CSRS on 11-1-78 andseparated from CSRS on 10-30-82. Edith was reinstated in a careerappointment on 2-1-85 under CSRS Interim/Offset and elected FERS on9-1-87. She had less than 5 years of civilian service that was not underboth CSRS and Social Security when she elected FERS coverage, so shehas no future entitlement to a CSRS component in the computation of herFERS annuity.
Therefore, Edith's military service is credited under FERS rules. If shehad completed a CSRS military deposit (at 7% of basic pay), she would beeligible for a return of excess contributions. (See Chapter 33, Return ofExcess Contributions, for additional information on returns of excessdeductions.)

Section 23B1.1-5 Who Can Make a Military Service Deposit
A. General Rule:CurrentEmployees
An employee subject to FERS may make a deposit for any full period ofmilitary service prior to separation from service.
1. If the employee delays making the military deposit until the time he orshe separates for retirement, the deposit must be made, in full, to theemploying agency before OPM completes the adjudication of theannuity. The agency should inform the employee that finaladjudication of his or her annuity will be delayed.
2. Except as noted in paragraph A1 above, a separated employee maynot make a military service deposit.
B. Employee WhoElects aPostponedAnnuity
If an employee meets the requirements to retire optionally under the FERSMRA+10 provision and postpones the annuity, he or she must pay themilitary service credit deposit to the agency before separation fromservice.
C. Survivor of aFormerEmployeeEligible for aDeferredAnnuity
A survivor of a former employee who was eligible at the time of death for adeferred annuity may receive a survivor annuity based on the formeremployee's creditable service but the survivor may not make a militaryservice deposit. See Chapter 70 for a discussion of survivor deposits whenthe employee dies in service.

Section 23B1.1-6 Refund of Deposit
A. Refund Before Retirement
Either a completed or partial deposit for a period of service is refunded to aseparated employee who applies for (and is entitled to) a refund of allretirement deductions. > Interest is paid on the FERS military servicedeposit. (See Chapter 32 for additional details.) <
B. Refund UponApplication forRetirement
The information in section 23A1.1-5, paragraph B, applies to FERSemployees, except for the statement that a reemployed annuitant canredeposit a refunded military deposit. FERS does not permit redeposits. (Also see paragraph C.)
NOTE: At retirement FERS disability retirees under age 62 will have tomake a decision about the use of military service at age 62. Ifthe employee is receiving military retired pay and decides not towaive it, he or she is entitled to a refund of the military deposit. However, the employee may want to waive the military retiredpay at age 62. A FERS disability annuity will be recomputed atage 62 to an amount that represents the annuity the personwould have received if he or she had continued working untilthe day before his or her sixty-second birthday and then retiredunder the FERS nondisability provisions. Including the militaryservice at age 62, therefore, may entitle the individual to ahigher annuity benefit. If the disability annuitant has received arefund of the military service deposit, it will not be possible tomake a deposit for such service to include it in the computationof the annuity at the time the recomputation is made.
C. RefundedMilitary ServiceCredit DepositCannot BeRepaid
Unlike CSRS employees, if a FERS employee separates from Federalservice and receives a refund of contributions and deposits or redepositsmade to the Fund, he or she does not have a right to pay back the post-1956military service credit deposit.

A. Applying forDeposit
The information in Part 23A2 applies to FERS employees whose militaryservice will be credited under FERS rules; however, agencies must insertthe statement shown in section 23B2.1-1B below on the SF 3108.
B. CompleteSF 3108
If the FERS employee decides to pay the military deposit, he or she mustobtain SF 3108, Application to Make Service Credit Payment for CivilianService, from the employing agency. (See subchapter 23C for a samplecopy of this form.)
The space below that in which the employee enters the military service tobe covered by a deposit must contain the following statement to be enteredby the employing agency.
"I wish to pay the deposit necessary to obtain credit for my military serviceafter 1956. I understand that the entire deposit must be paid to my agencybefore separation for retirement and that if I do not complete the deposit atthat time, the post-1956 military service will not be used to compute orestablish title to a FERS annuity. Any incomplete deposit that will not payfor one or more full periods of military service will be refunded. Otherwise, my deposit is refundable only if I become eligible for a refundof civil service retirement contributions, or retire without waiving mymilitary retired pay (if any).
"I further understand that the military deposit cannot be deemed paid atretirement if I am eligible for and elect an alternative annuity. If I do electthe alternative annuity upon retirement, any completed military depositsmade to the Fund will be refunded to me along with any other retirementcontributions or payments I made to the Fund."

Part 23B3 Employing Office Procedures
Section 23B3.1-1 Computing the Deposit
A. General The amount of the deposit is 3 percent of the basic pay (see section23A2.1-2) earned during the period(s) of service, plus interest.
NOTE: Under the Uniformed Services Employment and ReemploymentRights Act of 1994 (USERRA), approved October 13, 1994, themilitary deposit may, in some cases, be less than 3 percent ofthe basic military pay earned. See section 23A2.1-4A forfurther information.
B. Deposit Formula As stated in section 23A2.1-2, the employee is responsible for providingdocumentation of basic pay earned. Use the amount provided to determinethe deposit due.
Deposit Formula:
Deposit = Amount of Basic Pay x 3%
Round the product to the nearest dollar (that is, $0.50 or more round up,$0.49 or less round down).
Example: Basic Pay Received $ 6430Multiplied by 3% x .03 Equals $ 192.90Principal Equals $ 193.00
C. Employees WhoTransfer toFERS While onMilitaryFurlough
Military service is broken into two periods based on the effective date ofFERS coverage for employees who transfer to FERS while on militaryfurlough and have a CSRS component.
1. Military service performed before the effective date of FERS coverageis under CSRS rules (unless the employee is not eligible for a CSRSannuity component).
2. Military service performed on or after the effective date of FERScoverage is under FERS rules.
This rule applies even if the employee was in CSRS Offset before/duringthe military furlough.

April 1998 CSRS and FERS Handbook
Section 23B3.1-2 Computing the Interest
A. General Rules The FERS law provides a 2-year interest free grace period on deposits. After the 2-year period, interest is assessed and compounded annually onthe balance due in the deposit account as of the day before the employee'sIAD.
1. For employees first employed prior to January 1, 1987, intereststarted to accrue January 1, 1989.
2. For employees first employed on or after January 1, 1987, interestbegins to accrue 2 years from the date the individual was firstemployed subject to FERS.
3. If military service was performed after date of first employment andafter January 1, 1987, interest starts to accrue 2 years from the datethe employee returns to a position subject to FERS.
4. For employees who elect FERS coverage sometime after June 30,1987, if they have less than 5 years of civilian service (not countingany civilian service covered simultaneously by both Social Securityand CSRS after December 31, 1983) before the effective date of theelection, interest begins to accrue 2 years from the date of transfer.
NOTE: Because interest accrues annually, there is, in effect, a 3-yearinterest free period if the deposit is paid in full before the firstIAD. However, interest will accrue during the year followingthe 2-year grace period on any amount not deposited before thefirst IAD.
B. Interest Ratesand PostingDates forEmployees FirstEmployed Priorto January 1,1987
For employees first hired prior to January 1, 1987, the 2-year grace periodends on January 1, 1989. Interest accrues during calendar year 1989 at thevariable interest rate for the year, 9.125 percent. Interest is compoundedand posted January 1, 1990.
For any amount not deposited by January 1, 1990, interest accrues duringcalendar year 1990 at the variable interest rate of 8.75 percent. Interest willbe compounded and posted on January 1, 1991. Interest is assessed on theremaining balance and posted each year.
The variable interest rate is determined yearly by the Department of theTreasury.

Civil Service Retirement system (CSRS)
Information for Employee: Military service performed before January 1957 is included in the computationof your CSRS benefits. Military service performed after December 1956 mayor may not be included incomputing your retirement benefits depending on whether a deposit is required for your military service mayaffect your rights under the Civil Service Retirement system (CSRS), you need to be aware of the followinginformation before your decide.
1. Effect of eligibility for Social Security benefits.
• If you were first employed under CSRS before October 1, 1982, your military service afterDecember 31, 1956, cannot be used in computing your civil service annuity after age 62 if you areeligible for (or would be upon application) Social Security old-age benefits, unless a deposit hasbeen made for the military service. Individuals who have or expect to have enough quarters toqualify for social Security old-age benefits have the option of either: (1) making the deposit andthereby avoiding a reduction in annuity at age 62. (NOTE: If you are already 62 or older at thetime of retirement and eligible for (or would be upon application ) Social Security, your militaryservice will not be included in the computation of your annuity unless the deposit has been paid.) Your payments must cover a full period of military service. Partial deposits that do not cover adeposit for a full period of military service are refunded. If you are not eligible for social Security atage 62 or at the time of retirement, whichever comes later, you will continue to receive free creditfor your military service for retirement purposes. Many Federal employees earn enough quarters toqualify for Social Security benefits by working a second job during their Federal employment or byworking after retirement from Federal service, so you need to be aware of the law on credit forpost-1956 military service.
If you are not sure whether you are (or will be) eligible for a Social Security old-age benefit whichincludes credit for post-1956 military service, contact the Social Security Administration forinformation.
• If you were first employed under CSRS after September 30, 1982, no credit is allowed for post-1956 military service unless you make a deposit for the service.
2. Factors that may affect creditability of military service regardless of when you were first employed.
• Minimum Basic Annuity ProvisionsIf you retire under the disability provisions of CSRS and your annuity is based on the minimum basicannuity provision of the law, it is possible that the exclusion of credit for post-1956 military servicewill have no effect on the amount of your annuity. If you need more information about how youmay be affected, contact the designated agency official responsible for assisting you with yourretirement.
• Effect of Military Retired PayAn individual who is receiving military retired pay must waive the retired pay before he or she mayreceive credit for the military service for civil service retirement purposes, unless the retired pay was(1) awarded because of a service-connected disability incurred either in combat with an enemy

of the United States or caused by an instrumentality of war and incurred in line of duty during aperiod of war, or, (2) awarded under the reserve retiree provision (Chapter 67, title 10, UnitedStates Code). The waiver must be effective before the commencing date of annuity.
NOTE: Under current military regulations, if you are enrolled in the Military Service Survivor BenefitPlan (SBP) and elect to waive military retired pay, but you do NOT elect a survivor annuity underCSRS, then you must remain enrolled in the military SBP. As a result, you are responsible formaking monthly payments to the military service for the SBP coverage.
3. Other information about deposit for military service.
• The amount of the deposit is 7 percent of military basic pay. Military basic pay does not includeallowances, flight pay, combat pay, etc.
• If you make the deposit, the post-1956 military service will be credited under both the civil serviceand the social security systems, if it is otherwise creditable.
• The military deposit cannot be deemed paid at retirement if you are eligible and elect an alternativeform of annuity. the entire amount of the deposit must be paid to your employing agency beforeyou separate for retirement.

Section 23C1.1-3 Sample Employee Letter
Suggested Language for Agency Reminder to Employees About Considering a Deposit for Post-56 MilitaryService
Dear Employee:
As you know, during this time of downsizing, many Federal employees are thinking ahead and planning forretirement. For this reason, I would like to take this opportunity to provide some vital information to thoseof you who have performed active military service after December 31, 1956, that is potentially creditablefor retirement purposes.
If you were first employed in a position subject to the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) beforeOctober 1, 1982, and you continue to be covered under CSRS (or CSRS Offset) there are two options: (1)make a deposit equal to 7 percent of your post-56 military service earnings, plus interest, and avoid areduction in your annuity at age 62, or (2) decide not to pay the deposit and have your CSRS annuityreduced at age 62, if you are then eligible for Social Security benefits based on your own employment. There is no reduction in your CSRS annuity at age 62 if you have not earned an entitlement to SocialSecurity benefits based on your own employment.
If you were first employed under CSRS on or after October 1, 1982, and continue to be covered underCSRS (or CSRS Offset), you can only receive civil service retirement credit for post-1956 military service ifyou make a deposit to the employing agency in a sum equal to 7 percent of the military basic pay youearned during the period of military service, plus interest. Without a deposit, the service is not available fordetermining eligibility to retire, computing the annuity, or for any other retirement purpose.
If you were automatically covered under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) on January 1,1987, or at any time thereafter, your post-1956 military service can only be credited in a FERS annuity ifyou make a deposit of 3 percent of the military basic pay you earned during the period of military service,plus interest. If you elected FERS coverage and will have a portion of your FERS annuity computed underthe rules for CSRS, your military service will probably be subject to the CSRS deposit rules and creditedunder CSRS rules. If you elected FERS coverage but will have no portion of your FERS annuity computedunder the rules for CSRS, your military service will be subject to the FERS deposit rules and credited underFERS rules.
There are some good reasons to consider making a deposit. Making a deposit for post-1956 militaryservice allows you to receive permanent credit for military service under your Federal civilian retirementsystem, and the military service remains creditable for Social Security purposes. Making a deposit earlyhelps to avoid the accrual of additional interest. The current rate of interest charged on post-1956 depositsis 6.875 percent, and changes annually. In addition, making a deposit early affords you the option to makepartial payments of your deposit through payroll deductions. Even if you don't plan to retire or leaveFederal service soon, it is a very good idea to at least obtain the amount of your military earnings so thatthe deposit can be computed more easily.

Suggested Language for Agency Reminder to Employees About Considering a Deposit for Post-56 MilitaryService (continued)
To process the deposit, we can use your actual military pay vouchers for complete periods of militaryservice in computing the military deposit, or you can obtain a certified estimate of your military earningsfrom the appropriate branch of service. The personnel generalists in this office can provide instructions forobtaining the certified estimate. A copy of the form needed to request your military earnings is attached. Iwant to stress that these deposits must be made to (name of agency) as your employing agency beforeseparation from employment.
Please note that this is a brief summary of the provisions for making deposits to receive credit for post-1956 military service in a retirement. Under some circumstances, particularly active military serviceperformed after August 1, 1990, that interrupts creditable civilian service ( e.g. mobilizations for DesertShield/Desert Storm, etc.), special deposit provisions may apply due to a recent change in the law. Pleasesee a member of the Human Resources staff for additional information.
For more specific information pertaining to your individual service, or to obtain the necessary forms formaking a deposit, please contact .....
