Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Voluntary Early Retirements In The Civil

Service Too Often Misused





Under the civil service retirement system, em-
ployees with 30 years' service can elect to re-
tire at age 55. In certain circumstances, they
can voluntarily retire earlier.

The Office of Personnel Management is per-
mitting too many employees to retire earlier
than they normally could. Such retirements
may be appropriate if they prevent younger
employees from being laid off, but usually this
is not the case. Early retirements are being
granted to solve a variety of perceived or ac-
tual staffing problems.

The Congress should amend the Civil Service
Reform Act to restrict the use of early retire-
ments to cases where there is a high proba-
bility that other employees' jobs will be saved.
