4.Civilian Service Not Under FERS or CSRS

From verified service documented in official personnel records, list any Federal civilian or District of Columbia Government service not covered by FERS or CSRS deductions which you believe is potentially creditable. If a period of service was subject to another retirement system for Federal employees, note this in the Leave Without Pay column. If total basic salary earned for any such period of service is known, a summary entry may be entered on the right-hand side below. Otherwise, show each change affecting basic salary during the period of service. List any period of nondeduction service claimed on the front of this form which cannot be verified from official records and note it in the Leave Without Pay column as Unverified. Service which was not subject to FERS or CSRS deductions is creditable only as specifically allowed by law. NOTE: This information will also be requested on the SF 3107-1 in connection with the employee's retirement. File a copy of this schedule on the right side of the Official Personnel Folder to facilitate completion of the SF 3107-1.

Standard Form 3108 Revised November 2000

Information About Service Credit Payments

Federal Employees Retirement System

Detach this sheet before filling out the application and save it for your records.

Read this information carefully before filling out the attached application.

Who Should Use this Application?

You should use this application if you are covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) and you want to pay for civilian service so that you can receive retirement credit for the service. You should also use this application if you transferred to FERS and want to pay for service which will be credited under Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) rules.

If you are under the Civil Service Retirement System, use Standard Form 2803, Application to Make Deposit or Redeposit, which is available from your personnel office, to apply to pay for service.

Requesting Additional Information About Past Service

If you are currently a Federal employee and you want to know whether: (1) a period of service will be creditable for retirement;

(2)retirement deductions were withheld from your pay; or (3) you received a refund for a period of service, ask your agency for assistance. If you decide to pay for some periods of service, but not others, discuss this with your agency retirement counselor. It may be more advantageous for you to pay for certain periods of service instead of others. Different types of service are subject to different rules about crediting the service toward eligibility to receive an annuity and computing the actual annuity and average salary. If you are not currently a Federal employee, you can call the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on 1-888-767-6738 (Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 7:45 PM Eastern Time), or write to:

Office of Personnel Management

Retirement Operations Center

P.O. Box 45

Boyers, PA 16017-0045

to ask for the information you need.

Any other service which is not creditable under FERS.

Periods of leave without pay.

Time covered by a lump sum leave payment.

The amount of your payment for civilian service (excluding Peace Corps and VISTA volunteer service) is 1.3 percent of your basic pay for the service, plus interest. The 1.3 percent rate applies regardless of whether deductions would have been taken at that rate, if they had been taken at the time the service was performed. You must pay the total amount due for each separate period of service before you can receive credit for it in your annuity. A separate period of service is a period of civilian service that is not interrupted by a break in service of more than three days.

If you pay for part-time service, you will receive credit for the number of hours in your official tour of duty - e.g., 20 hours per week. If you worked more than your official tour of duty, attach a statement with the name of the agency where you worked, the beginning and ending dates of each period of service, your grade and job title, and the number of hours worked per week. If available, attach copies of any earnings statements which show the number of hours worked.

The amount of your payment for Peace Corps or VISTA volunteer service is the percentage of your basic salary shown below, plus interest.

Credit for Civilian Service

Paym ent c an be m ade f or :

Any period of creditable civilian service performed before 1989 during which no retirement deductions were withheld from your pay.

Interest is computed from the midpoint of each period of service included in the computation. Interest accrues annually on the outstanding balance, and is compounded annually until the outstanding balance is deposited. Interest is charged to the date of deposit or the commencing date of annuity, whichever is earlier. (Interest on PeaceCorps/VISTA service credit deposits begins to accrue on October 1, 1993, or 2 years after the date you first became a Federal employee, whichever is later.)

Interest is charged at the following rates:

Any period of civilian service during which retirement deductions were withheld from your pay and refunded to you based on an application you filed before you became covered by FERS.

Any period of Peace Corps or VISTA volunteer service (excluding training time) regardless of when the service was performed.

Paym ent c annot be m ade f or :

Any period of service under FERS for which you received a refund of your retirement deductions based on an appli- cation you filed after you had been covered by FERS.

Temporary or intermittent service which you performed after 1988. Temporary service means an appointment which is limited to one year or less. Intermittent service means an appointment with no scheduled tour of duty.

Payment is optional. You do not have to pay if you do not want to do so. However, if you do not pay for a period of FERS service, you will not receive any credit for it toward retirement, including your eligibility to receive an annuity and computing your average salary.

Paym ent c an be m ade by -

You while you are employed by the Federal government and covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS).

You when you retire. OPM will automatically compute any amount payable when you retire and give you an opportunity to pay it.

You, after you leave the Federal government, provided you are eligible for a deferred annuity because you have at least five years of paid civilian service when you leave.

Your surviving spouse if you die as an employee or separated employee and your spouse is eligible for a survivor annuity benefit. OPM will automatically compute any amount payable and give your spouse an opportunity to pay it.

Payment by you or your spouse must be completed before final processing of retirement or survivor benefits.

Payment cannot be withdrawn unless (1) you become eligible for and obtain a refund of all your FERS retirement deductions, or

(2)you retire and are eligible to choose an alternative annuity and lump sum payment of your retirement deductions. If you make payment, and later receive a refund, you cannot redeposit the money again. This applies to refunds of payments for both civilian and military service. If you do not complete payment for a period of service before your annuity begins, OPM will refund the partial payment, plus interest, at the time of retirement.

Transfer employees who chose to transfer from the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) to FERS and who are entitled to have part of their benefits computed under CSRS rules should also use this application to pay for service which will be credited under CSRS rules. OPM will bill you for the appropriate amount. Standard Form 2803, Application to Make Deposit or Redeposit, Civil Service Retirement System, contains detailed information on deposits and redeposits under CSRS rules. You can obtain a copy of the SF 2803 from your personnel office. If you have any additional questions regarding credit for service under CSRS rules, your personnel office should be able to help you.

How to Apply and Make Payment

If you are a Federal employee, send your completed application to your department or agency because they must certify it. Please do not file an application if you plan to retire within six months.

OPM will give you an opportunity to make payment when it computes your annuity.

If you are not currently a Federal employee, send your

completed application directly to:

Office of Personnel Management

Retirement Operations Center

P.O. Box 45

Boyers, PA 16017-0045.

Instructions for making payment, together with a bill for the amount due, will be sent to you as soon as OPM processes your application.

Installment payments of at least $50.00 are acceptable. However, since interest is charged on the unpaid balance, you have to pay additional interest if you make installment payments. You may authorize direct debit payments. You will receive information about authorizing direct debit payments when you receive your account statement.

Additional information and assistance in completing this application may be obtained from your personnel office. If this source of information is not available to you, you can call OPM on 1-888-767-6738 (Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 7:45 PM Eastern Time).
