Here are some important considerations when filling out and submitting the form:
Type of Retirement: This form is exclusively for immediate retirement. If you are considering a deferred annuity, you should not use this form but instead should contact the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for the appropriate form.
Documentation and Support: The form references other materials, such as the SF 3113 pamphlet. This pamphlet provides additional instructions, clarifications, and details to help you understand the retirement process better.
Military Service: If you have had any military service, the form asks you to provide details about that service. There are specific conditions related to military service and how it's credited toward FERS retirement, especially concerning any military deposits and waivers.
Thrift Savings Plan & Social Security: This form does not cover benefits from the Thrift Savings Plan and the Social Security Administration. You must apply for those benefits separately.
Attachments: Depending on your circumstances, such as military service or specific annuity elections, you might need to attach additional forms or schedules. Ensure you provide all necessary attachments to avoid delays.
