Z0548 FEDERAL PERSONNEL AND COMPENSATION DIVISION B-198304 APRIL 22, 1980 The Honorable Alan K. Campbell Director, Office of Personnel)1 Management Dear Mr. Campbell: Subject: L ome Civil Service Retirees Subject to Catch 62 Are Not Being Identified7 (FPCD-80-47) We are currently reviewing the Catch 62 provision of the civil service retirement system whereby military service performed after 1956 cannot be credited for both civil serv- ice and social security retirement benefits. We will be providing comments on S. 92 to the Chairman, Committee on Governmental Affairs, in the near future. S. 92 would per- mit military service performed after 1956 to be credited for both civil service retirement and social security benefits. During this review, we identified some administrative prob- lems that can be readily fixed. Because of these problems, many civil service retirees subject to Catch 62 may not have their civil service annuities reduced in accordance with the law. Under current law (5 U.S.C. 8332(j)), if a civil serv- ice retiree becomes eligible for social security benefits (normally at age 62), the Office of Persoement (OPM) is to recompute the civil service annuity and exclude any military service after December 31, 1956, from the annu- ity computation. Indications are that this is not always being done, and the problem may be greatly exacerbated when more and more individuals with post-1956 military service become eligible for civil service and social security bene- fits. OPM's claims adjudication procedures require that cards be prepared for retirees with post-1956 military service and filed for future followup. Three months before the retiree becomes 62, OPM is to ask the Social Security Administration (SSA) if the retiree is eligible for social security benefits I(963130) 112119
