Opm Form 1510 PDF Details

When an employee faces separation due to discontinued service retirement under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), the OPM 1510 form becomes an essential document. Characterized as the "Certification of Agency Offer of Position and Required Documentation," this form ensures that employees receive proper consideration for positions that may prevent their separation. Unique in its function, the form serves as a bridge between the agency's intention to retain an employee and the formalization of that intent through a documented job offer. For the process to be deemed valid, the job offer must meet specific criteria: it must be in writing, cater to the qualifications of the employee, be located within a reasonable commuting area unless otherwise agreed, and not represent a significant step down in terms of grade or pay level. Furthermore, the form obligates the offering agency to confirm the job offer's details and the employee's qualifications, emphasizing the importance of a fair and transparent process. Failure to accompany a retirement application with a properly completed OPM 1510 form can significantly delay annuity payments, highlighting the form's critical role in the transition to retirement. Therefore, understanding the nuances of the OPM 1510 form is important for both agency personnel and employees navigating the discontinued service retirement process.

Certification of Agency Offer of Position and Required Documentation

(for Discontinued Service Retirement Under CSRS or FERS)

Instructions to Agency Personnel

Complete this certification whenever an employee is being separated for discontinued service retirement. Attach the completed form to the employee's application for retirement. If a properly completed certification does not accompany an employee's retirement application, OPM will not authorize any annuity payments, including interim payments, until the certification is received, unless the employee is also eligible for retirement based on his or her age and service.
