BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES






Minimum Benefit Provision Of The

Civil Service Disability Retirement

Program Should Be Changed



The minimum disability benefit provisions
of the civil service retirement system were
adopted to provide a reasonable income to
employees who become disabled after short
periods of Federal service. However, minimum
benefits are being paid to many persons who
are also receiving retirement benefits from
former military careers.

GAO has issued several reports pointing out
the seriousness of increasing civil service
disability costs and the need for reform. The
minimum benefit provisions will add an esti-
mated $54 million to civilian retirement costs
for Air Force retirees alone who retired on
disability from second careers in the civil
service during 1976 to 1978.

Revising the minimum benefit formula for
retirees with income from other Federal
service would reduce retirement costs signi-
ficantly.
