is used for the computation under paragraph (5).

''(11) Effective from its commencing date, an annuity payable

to an annuitant's survivor (other than a child under section 8443

of title 5, United States Code) shall be increased by the total

percent by which the deceased annuitant's annuity was increased

under paragraph (7).

''(12)(A)(i) If the electing individual is a reemployed

annuitant under section 8344 of title 5, United States Code,

under conditions allowing the annuity to continue during

reemployment, payment of the annuitant's annuity shall continue

after the effective date of the election, and an amount equal to

the annuity allocable to the period of actual employment shall

continue to be deducted from the annuitant's pay and deposited as

provided in subsection (a) of such section. Deductions from pay

under section 8422(a) of such title and contributions under

section 8423 of such title shall begin effective on the effective

date of the election.

''(ii) Notwithstanding any provision of section 301, an

election under such section shall not be available to any

reemployed annuitant who would be excluded from the operation of

chapter 84 of title 5, United States Code, under section 8402(c)

of such title (relating to exclusions based on the temporary or

intermittent nature of one's employment).

''(B) If the annuitant serves on a full-time basis for at least

1 year, or on a part-time basis for periods equivalent to at

least 1 year of full-time service, such annuitant's annuity, on

termination of reemployment, shall be increased by an annuity

computed -

''(i) with respect to reemployment service before the

effective date of the election, under section 8339(a), (b),

(d), (e), (h), (i), and (n) of title 5, United States Code, as

may apply based on the reemployment in which such annuitant was

engaged before such effective date; and

''(ii) with respect to reemployment service on or after the

effective date of the election, under section 8415(a) through

(f) of such title, as may apply based on the reemployment in

which such annuitant was engaged on or after such effective

date;

with the 'average pay' used in any computation under clause (i)

or (ii) being determined (based on rates of pay in effect during

the period of reemployment, whether before, on, or after the

effective date of the election) in the same way as provided for

in paragraph (6). If the annuitant is receiving a reduced annuity

as provided in section 8339(j) or section 8339(k)(2) of title 5,

United States Code, the increase in annuity payable under this

subparagraph is reduced by 10 percent and the survivor annuity

payable under section 8341(b) of such title is increased by 55

percent of the increase in annuity payable under this

subparagraph, unless, at the time of claiming the increase

payable under this subparagraph, the annuitant notifies the

Office of Personnel Management in writing that such annuitant

does not desire the survivor annuity to be increased. If the

annuitant dies while still reemployed, after having been

reemployed for at least 1 full year (or the equivalent thereof,

in the case of part-time employment), any survivor annuity

payable under section 8341(b) of such title based on the service

of such annuitant is increased as though the reemployment had

otherwise terminated. In applying paragraph (7) to an amount

under this subparagraph, any portion of such amount attributable

to clause (i) shall be adjusted under subparagraph (A) of such

paragraph, and any portion of such amount attributable to clause

(ii) shall be adjusted under subparagraph (B) of such paragraph.

''(C)(i) If the annuitant serves on a full-time basis for at

least 5 years, or on a part-time basis for periods equivalent to

at least 5 years of full-time service, such annuitant may elect,

instead of the benefit provided by subparagraph (B), to have such

annuitant's rights redetermined, effective upon separation from

employment. If the annuitant so elects, the redetermined annuity

will become payable as if such annuitant were retiring for the

first time based on the separation from reemployment service, and

the provisions of this section concerning computation of annuity

(other than any provision of this paragraph) shall apply.

''(ii) If the annuitant dies while still reemployed, after

having been reemployed for at least 5 full years (or the

equivalent thereof, in the case of part-time employment), any

person entitled to a survivor annuity under section 8341(b) of

title 5, United States Code, based on the service of such

annuitant shall be permitted to elect to have such person's

rights redetermined in accordance with regulations which the

Office shall prescribe. Redetermined benefits elected under this

clause shall be in lieu of any increased benefits which would

otherwise be payable in accordance with the next to last sentence

of subparagraph (B).

''(D) If the annuitant serves on a full-time basis for less

than 1 year (or the equivalent thereof, in the case of part-time

employment), any amounts withheld under section 8422(a) of title

5, United States Code, from such annuitant's pay for the period

(or periods) involved shall, upon written application to the

Office, be payable to such annuitant (or the appropriate survivor

or survivors, determined in the order set forth in section

8342(c) of such title).

''(E) For purposes of determining the period of an annuitant's

reemployment service under this paragraph, a period of

reemployment service shall not be taken into account unless -

''(i) with respect to service performed before the effective

date of the election under section 301, it is service which, if

performed for at least 1 full year, would have allowed such

annuitant to elect under section 8344(a) of title 5, United

States Code, to have deductions withheld from pay; or

''(ii) with respect to service performed on or after the

effective date of the election under section 301, it is service

with respect to which deductions from pay would be required to

be withheld under the second sentence of section 8468(a) of

title 5, United States Code.

''(b) Chapter 83 Generally Inapplicable. - (1) Except as provided

in subsection (a) or paragraph (2), subchapter III of chapter 83 of

title 5, United States Code, shall not apply with respect to any

individual who becomes subject to chapter 84 of title 5, United

States Code, pursuant to an election under section 301.

''(2)(A) Nothing in paragraph (1), or in subchapter III of

chapter 83 of title 5, United States Code, shall preclude the

making of a deposit under such subchapter with respect to any

civilian service under subsection (a)(1)(D) or military service

under subsection (a)(2)(B) either by the electing individual or,

for purposes of survivor annuities, by a survivor of such

individual.

''(B) Nothing in paragraph (1) shall preclude the payment of any

lump-sum credit in accordance with section 8342 of title 5, United

States Code.

''(c) Refunds Relating to Certain Civilian Service. - (1) Any

individual who makes an election under section 301 to become

subject to chapter 84 and who, with respect to any period before

the effective date of the election, has made a contribution to the

Civil Service Retirement System (whether by deductions from pay or

by a deposit or redeposit) and has not taken a refund of the

contribution (as so made), shall be entitled to a refund equal to -

''(A) for a period of service under clause (i) of subsection

(a)(1)(B), the amount by which -

subsection (a)(1), the amount by which -

exceeds

''(ii) the amount required under such subparagraph with

respect to such period.

''(2) In accordance with regulations prescribed by the Office of

Personnel Management, a refund under this subsection shall be

payable upon written application therefor filed with the Office and

shall include interest at the rate provided in section 8334(e)(3)

of title 5, United States Code. Interest on the refund shall accrue

monthly and shall be compounded annually.

Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, on request of the

Office, shall inform the Office whether or not the individual,

the described benefits. For the purpose of this subsection, the

period of an individual's service as a volunteer or volunteer

leader under chapter 34 of title 22 is the period between

enrollment as a volunteer or volunteer leader and termination of

that service by the President or by death or resignation and the

B, or C of title I of the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 is

the period between enrollment as a volunteer and termination of

that service by the Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity

Volunteer Service Act of 1973, or the Peace Corps Act shall not

apply to any period of service as a volunteer or volunteer leader

of an employee or Member with respect to which the employee or

Member has made the deposit with interest, if any, required by

section 8334(l).

(k)(1) An employee who enters on approved leave without pay to

serve as a full-time officer or employee of an organization

composed primarily of employees as defined by section 8331(1) of

pay, may file with his employing agency an election to receive full

retirement credit for his periods of that leave without pay and

arrange to pay currently into the Fund, through his employing

agency, amounts equal to the retirement deductions and agency

contributions that would be applicable if he were in pay status.

made, the employee may not receive credit for the periods of leave

without pay occurring after July 17, 1966, notwithstanding the

third (FOOTNOTE 4) sentence of subsection (f) of this section. For

the purpose of the preceding sentence, ''employee'' includes an

employee who was on approved leave without pay and serving as a

title. An employee who makes the deposit shall be allowed full

retirement credit for the period or periods of leave without pay.

If the employee dies, a survivor as defined by section 8331(10) of

this title may make the deposit. If the deposit is not made in

third (FOOTNOTE 4) sentence of subsection (f) of this section.

(A) is of Japanese ancestry; and

the Federal Reserve Act; and

(2) transferred without a break in service to a position to

which the employee was appointed by the President, with the

advice and consent of the Senate, and in which position the

employee is subject to this subchapter,

shall be treated for all purposes of this subchapter as if any

service that would have been creditable under the retirement system

established under section 10 of the Federal Reserve Act was service

performed while subject to this subchapter if any employee and

employer deductions, contributions or rights with respect to the

employee's service are transferred from such retirement system to

section 301 of title 38'' are coextensive with and substituted for

''as that term is used in chapter 11 of Title 38''.

In subsection (c)(2), the words ''under chapter 67 of title 10''

are substituted for ''title III of Public Law 810, Eightieth

Congress'' on authority of the Act of Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 104, Sec.

executed.

In subsection (i), the words ''but nothing contained in this

the purposes of this chapter, the basis, under applicable law other

than this chapter, on which such United States Commissioner is

employed or on which his compensation is determined and paid'' are

omitted from the last sentence as surplusage as there is nothing in

the chapter that can reasonably be construed to affect that basis

other than for the purposes of the chapter.

In subsection (j), the words ''or section 2504(f) of Title 22''

are omitted as unnecessary since the provisions of that section

applicable to this subchapter are carried into subsection (b). The

shall be returned to him on the separation. Failure to meet this

service requirement does not deprive the individual or his

survivors of annuity rights which attached on a previous

separation.

(c) A Member or his survivor is eligible for an annuity under

this subchapter only if the amounts named by section 8334 of this

title have been deducted or deposited with respect to his last 5

years of civilian service, or, in the case of a survivor annuity

under section 8341(d) or (e)(1) of this title, with respect to his

total service.

Sec. 8334. Deductions, contributions, and deposits

-STATUTE-

(a)(1) The employing agency shall deduct and withhold from the

basic pay of an employee, Member, Congressional employee, law

enforcement officer, firefighter, bankruptcy judge, judge of the

United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, United States

magistrate, (FOOTNOTE 1) Court of Federal Claims judge, member of

the Capitol Police, member of the Supreme Court Police, or nuclear

materials courier, as the case may be, the percentage of basic pay

applicable under subsection (c). An equal amount shall be

contributed from the appropriation or fund used to pay the employee

or, in the case of an elected official, from an appropriation or

fund available for payment of other salaries of the same office or

establishment. When an employee in the legislative branch is paid

by the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of

Representatives, the Chief Administrative Officer may pay from the

applicable accounts of the House of Representatives the

contribution that otherwise would be contributed from the

appropriation or fund used to pay the employee.

(FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. Probably should be ''United States

magistrate judge,''.

(2) The amounts so deducted and withheld, together with the

amounts so contributed, shall be deposited in the Treasury of the

United States to the credit of the Fund under such procedures as

the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe. Deposits made by an

employee or Member also shall be credited to the Fund.

(b) Each employee or Member is deemed to consent and agree to

these deductions from basic pay. Notwithstanding any law or

regulation affecting the pay of an employee or Member, payment less

these deductions is a full and complete discharge and acquittance

of all claims and demands for regular services during the period

covered by the payment, except the right to the benefits to which

the employee or Member is entitled under this subchapter.

(c) Each employee or Member credited with civilian service after

July 31, 1920, for which retirement deductions or deposits have not

been made, may deposit with interest an amount equal to the

following percentages of his basic pay received for that service:

-------------------------------

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subsection and any

provision of section 206(b)(3) of the Federal Employees' Retirement

Contribution Temporary Adjustment Act of 1983, the percentage of

basic pay required under this subsection in the case of an

individual described in section 8402(b)(2) shall, with respect to

any covered service (as defined by section 203(a)(3) of such Act)

performed by such individual after December 31, 1983, and before

January 1, 1987, be equal to 1.3 percent, and, with respect to any

such service performed after December 31, 1986, be equal to the

amount that would have been deducted from the employee's basic pay

under subsection (k) of this section if the employee's pay had been

subject to that subsection during such period.

(d)(1) Each employee or Member who has received a refund of

retirement deductions under this or any other retirement system

established for employees of the Government covering service for

which he may be allowed credit under this subchapter may deposit

the amount received, with interest. Credit may not be allowed for

the service covered by the refund until the deposit is made.

(2)(A) This paragraph applies with respect to any employee or

Member who -

(i) separates before October 1, 1990, and receives (or elects,

in accordance with applicable provisions of this subchapter, to

receive) a refund (described in paragraph (1)) which relates to a

period of service ending before October 1, 1990;

(ii) is entitled to an annuity under this subchapter (other

than a disability annuity) which is based on service of such

employee or Member, and which commences on or after December 2,

1990; and

(iii) does not make the deposit (described in paragraph (1))

required in order to receive credit for the period of service

with respect to which the refund relates.

(B) Notwithstanding the second sentence of paragraph (1), the

annuity to which an employee or Member under this paragraph is

entitled shall (subject to adjustment under section 8340) be equal

to an amount which, when taken together with the unpaid amount

referred to in subparagraph (A)(iii), would result in the present

value of the total being actuarially equivalent to the present

value of the annuity which would otherwise be provided the employee

or Member under this subchapter, as computed under subsections

(a)-(i) and (n) of section 8339 (treating, for purposes of so

computing the annuity which would otherwise be provided under this

subchapter, the deposit referred to in subparagraph (A)(iii) as if

it had been timely made).

(C) The Office of Personnel Management shall prescribe such

regulations as may be necessary to carry out this paragraph.

(e)(1) Interest under subsection (c), (d)(1), (j), (k), or (l) of

this section is computed in accordance with paragraphs (2) and (3)

of this subsection and regulations prescribed by the Office of

Personnel Management.

(2) Interest accrues annually on the outstanding portion of any

amount that may be deposited under subsection (c), (d)(1), (j),

(k), or (l) of this section, and is compounded annually, until the

portion is deposited. Such interest is computed from the mid-point

of each service period included in the computation, or from the

date refund was paid. The deposit may be made in one or more

installments. Interest may not be charged for a period of

separation from the service which began before October 1, 1956.

(3) The rate of interest is 4 percent a year through December 31,

1947, and 3 percent a year beginning January 1, 1948, through

December 31, 1984. Thereafter, the rate of interest for any

calendar year shall be equal to the overall average yield to the

Fund during the preceding fiscal year from all obligations

purchased by the Secretary of the Treasury during such fiscal year

under section 8348(c), (d), and (e) of this title, as determined by

the Secretary.

(f) Under such regulations as the Office of Personnel Management

may prescribe, amounts deducted under subsection (a) or (k) of this

section and deposited under subsections (c) and (d)(1) of this

section shall be entered on individual retirement records.

(g) Deposit may not be required for -

(1) service before August 1, 1920;

(2) military service, except to the extent provided under

section 8332(c) or 8334(j) of this title;

(3) service for the Panama Railroad Company before January 1,

1924;

(4) service performed before October 29, 1983,, (FOOTNOTE 2) by

natives of the Pribilof Islands in the taking and curing of fur

seal skins and other activities in connection with the

administration of the Pribilof Islands except where deductions,

contributions, and deposits were made before October 29, 1983;

(FOOTNOTE 2) So in original.

(5) days of unused sick leave credited under section 8339(m) of

this title; or

(6) any period for which credit is allowed under section

8332(l) of this title.

(h) For the purpose of survivor annuities, deposits authorized by

subsections (c), (d)(1), (j), and (k) of this section may also be

made by a survivor of an employee or Member.

(i)(1) The Director of the Administrative Office of the United

States Courts shall pay to the Fund the amount which an employee

may deposit under subsection (c) of this section for service

creditable under section 8332(b)(12) of this title if such

creditable service immediately precedes service as an employee

subject to this subchapter with a break in service of no more than

ninety working days. The Director shall pay such amount from any

appropriation available to him as a necessary expense of the

appropriation concerned.

(2) The amount the Director pays in accordance with paragraph (1)

of this subsection shall be reduced by the amount of any refund to

the employee under section 376 of title 28. Except to the extent of

such reduction, the amount the Director pays to the Fund shall

satisfy the deposit requirement of subsection (c) of this section.

(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the amount the

Director pays under this subsection shall constitute an employer

contribution to the Fund, excludable under section 402 of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 from the employee's gross income

until such time as the contribution is distributed or made

available to the employee, and shall not be subject to refund or to

lump-sum payment to the employee.

(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a bankruptcy

judge or magistrate judge who is covered by section 377 of title 28

or section 2(c) of the Retirement and Survivors' Annuities for

Bankruptcy Judges and Magistrates Act of 1988 shall not be subject

to deductions and contributions to the Fund, if the judge or

magistrate judge notifies the Director of the Administrative Office

of the United States Courts of an election of a retirement annuity

under those provisions. Upon such an election, the judge or

magistrate judge shall be entitled to a lump-sum credit under

section 8342(a) of this title.

(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a judge who is

covered by section 7296 of title 38 shall not be subject to

deductions and contributions to the Fund, if the judge notifies the

Director of the Office of Personnel Management of an election of a

retirement annuity under that section. Upon such an election, the

judge shall be entitled to a lump-sum credit under section 8342(a)

of this title.

(6) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a judge of the

United States Court of Federal Claims who is covered by section 178

of title 28 shall not be subject to deductions and contributions to

the Fund if the judge notifies the Director of the Administrative

Office of the United States Courts of an election of a retirement

annuity under those provisions. Upon such an election, the judge

shall be entitled to a lump-sum credit under section 8342(a) of

this title.

(j)(1)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), and subject to

paragraph (5), each employee or Member who has performed military

service before the date of the separation on which the entitlement

to any annuity under this subchapter is based may pay, in

accordance with such regulations as the Office shall issue, to the

agency by which the employee is employed, or, in the case of a

Member or a Congressional employee, to the Secretary of the Senate

or the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of

Representatives, as appropriate, an amount equal to 7 percent of

the amount of the basic pay paid under section 204 of title 37 to

the employee or Member for each period of military service after

December 1956. The amount of such payments shall be based on such

evidence of basic pay for military service as the employee or

Member may provide, or if the Office determines sufficient evidence

has not been so provided to adequately determine basic pay for

military service, such payment shall be based upon estimates of

such basic pay provided to the Office under paragraph (4).

(B) In any case where military service interrupts creditable

civilian service under this subchapter and reemployment pursuant to

chapter 43 of title 38 occurs on or after August 1, 1990, the

deposit payable under this paragraph may not exceed the amount that

would have been deducted and withheld under subsection (a)(1) from

basic pay during civilian service if the employee had not performed

the period of military service.

(2) Any deposit made under paragraph (1) of this subsection more

than two years after the later of -

(A) October 1, 1983; or

(B) the date on which the employee or Member making the deposit

first becomes an employee or Member following the period of

military service for which such deposit is due,

shall include interest on such amount computed and compounded

annually beginning on the date of the expiration of the two-year

period. The interest rate that is applicable in computing interest

in any year under this paragraph shall be equal to the interest

rate that is applicable for such year under subsection (e) of this

section.

(3) Any payment received by an agency, the Secretary of the

Senate, or the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of

Representatives under this subsection shall be immediately remitted

to the Office for deposit in the Treasury of the United States to

the credit of the Fund.

(4) The Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Transportation,

the Secretary of Commerce, or the Secretary of Health and Human

Services, as appropriate, shall furnish such information to the

Office as the Office may determine to be necessary for the

administration of this subsection.

(5) Effective with respect to any period of military service

after December 31, 1998, the percentage of basic pay under section

204 of title 37 payable under paragraph (1) shall be equal to the

same percentage as would be applicable under subsection (c) of this

section for that same period for service as an employee, subject to

paragraph (1)(B).

(k)(1) Effective with respect to pay periods beginning after

December 31, 1986, in administering this section in the case of an

individual described in section 8402(b)(2) of this title -

(A) the amount to be deducted and withheld by the employing

agency shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (2) of

this subsection instead of the first sentence of subsection

(a)(1) of this section; and

(B) the amount of the contribution under the second sentence of

subsection (a)(1) of this section shall be the amount which would

have been contributed under such sentence if this subsection had

not been enacted.

(2)(A) With respect to Federal wages of an employee or Member (or

that portion thereof) not exceeding the contribution and benefit

base during the calendar year involved, the appropriate amount to

be deducted and withheld under this subsection is the amount by

which -

(i) the total deduction for those wages (or for that portion)

exceeds;

(ii) the OASDI contribution with respect to those wages (or

that portion).

(B) With respect to any portion of Federal wages of an employee

or Member which exceed the contribution and benefit base during the

calendar year involved, the appropriate amount to be deducted and

withheld under this subsection is an amount equal to the total

deduction for that portion.

(C) For purposes of this paragraph -

(i) the term ''Federal wages'' means basic pay for service as

an employee or Member, as the case may be;

(ii) the term ''contribution and benefit base'' means the

contribution and benefit base in effect with respect to the

period involved, as determined under section 230 of the Social

Security Act;

(iii) the term ''total deduction'', as used with respect to any

Federal wages (or portion thereof), means an amount equal to the

amount of those wages (or of that portion), multiplied by the

percentage which (but for this subsection) would apply under the

first sentence of subsection (a)(1) with respect to the

individual involved; and

(iv) the term ''OASDI contribution'', with respect to any

income, means the amount of tax which may be imposed under

section 3101(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect

to such income (determined without regard to any income which is

not a part of Federal wages).

(3) The amount of a deposit under subsection (c) of this section

for any service with respect to which paragraph (1) of this

subsection applies shall be equal to an amount determined based on

the preceding provisions of this subsection, and shall include

interest.

(4) In administering paragraphs (1) through (3) -

(A) the term ''an individual described in section 8402(b)(2) of

this title'' shall be considered to include any individual -

(i) who is subject to this subchapter as a result of a

provision of law described in section 8347(o), and

(ii) whose employment (as described in section 8347(o)) is

also employment for purposes of title II of the Social Security

Act and chapter 21 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and

(B) the term ''Federal wages'', as applied with respect to any

individual to whom this subsection applies as a result of

subparagraph (A), means basic pay for any employment referred to

in subparagraph (A)(ii).

(l)(1) Each employee or Member who has performed service as a

volunteer or volunteer leader under part A of title VIII of the

Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, as a full-time volunteer enrolled

in a program of at least 1 year's duration under part A, B, or C of

title I of the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, or as a

volunteer or volunteer leader under the Peace Corps Act before the

date of the separation on which the entitlement to any annuity

under this subchapter is based may pay, in accordance with such

regulations as the Office of Personnel Management shall issue, an

amount equal to 7 percent of the readjustment allowance paid to the

employee or Member under title VIII of the Economic Opportunity Act

of 1964 or section 5(c) or 6(1) of the Peace Corps Act or the

stipend paid to the employee or Member under part A, B, or C of

title I of the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, for each

period of service as such a volunteer or volunteer leader. This

paragraph shall be subject to paragraph (4).

(2) Any deposit made under paragraph (1) more than 2 years after

the later of -

(A) October 1, 1993; or

(B) the date on which the employee or Member making the deposit

first becomes an employee or Member,

shall include interest on such amount computed and compounded

annually beginning on the date of the expiration of the 2-year

period. The interest rate that is applicable in computing interest

Sec. 8337. Disability retirement

-STATUTE-

(a) An employee who completes 5 years of civilian service and has

become disabled shall be retired on the employee's own application

or on application by the employee's agency. Any employee shall be

considered to be disabled only if the employee is found by the

Office of Personnel Management to be unable, because of disease or

injury, to render useful and efficient service in the employee's

position and is not qualified for reassignment, under procedures

prescribed by the Office, to a vacant position which is in the

agency at the same grade or level and in which the employee would

be able to render useful and efficient service. For the purpose of

the preceding sentence, an employee of the United States Postal

Service shall be considered not qualified for a reassignment

described in that sentence if the reassignment is to a position in

a different craft or is inconsistent with the terms of a collective

bargaining agreement covering the employee. A judge of the United

States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces who completes 5 years

of civilian service and who is found by the Office to be disabled

for useful and efficient service as a judge of such court or who is

removed for mental or physical disability under section 942(c) of

title 10 shall be retired on the judge's own application or upon

such removal. A Member who completes 5 years of Member service and

is found by the Office to be disabled for useful and efficient

service as a Member because of disease or injury shall be retired

on the Member's own application. An annuity authorized by this

section is computed under section 8339(g) of this title, unless the

employee or Member is eligible for a higher annuity computed under

section 8339(a) through (e), (n), (q), (r), or (s).

(b) A claim may be allowed under this section only if the

application is filed with the Office before the employee or Member

is separated from the service or within 1 year thereafter. This

time limitation may be waived by the Office for an employee or

Member who at the date of separation from service or within 1 year

thereafter is mentally incompetent, if the application is filed

with the Office within 1 year from the date of restoration of the

employee or Member to competency or the appointment of a fiduciary,

whichever is earlier.

(c) An annuitant receiving disability retirement annuity from the

Fund shall be examined under the direction of the Office -

(1) at the end of 1 year from the date of the disability

retirement; and

(2) annually thereafter until he becomes 60 years of age;

unless his disability is permanent in character. If the annuitant

fails to submit to examination as required by this section, payment

of the annuity shall be suspended until continuance of the

disability is satisfactorily established.

(d) If an annuitant receiving disability retirement annuity from

the Fund, before becoming 60 years of age, recovers from his

disability, payment of the annuity terminates on reemployment by

the Government or 1 year after the date of the medical examination

showing the recovery, whichever is earlier. If an annuitant

receiving disability retirement annuity from the Fund, before

becoming 60 years of age, is restored to an earning capacity fairly

comparable to the current rate of pay of the position occupied at

the time of retirement, payment of the annuity terminates on

reemployment by the Government or 180 days after the end of the

calendar year in which earning capacity is so restored, whichever

is earlier. Earning capacity is deemed restored if in any calendar

year the income of the annuitant from wages or self-employment or

both equals at least 80 percent of the current rate of pay of the

position occupied immediately before retirement.

(e) If an annuitant whose annuity is terminated under subsection

(d) of this section is not reemployed in a position in which he is

subject to this subchapter, he is deemed, except for service

credit, to have been involuntarily separated from the service for

the purpose of this subchapter as of the date of termination of the

disability annuity, and after that termination is entitled to

annuity under the applicable provisions of this subchapter. If an

annuitant whose annuity is heretofore or hereafter terminated

because of an earning capacity provision of this subchapter or an

earlier statute -

(1) is not reemployed in a position in which he is subject to

this subchapter; and

(2) has not recovered from the disability for which he was

retired;

his annuity shall be restored at the same rate effective the first

of the year following any calendar year in which his income from

wages or self-employment or both is less than 80 percent of the

current rate of pay of the position occupied immediately before

retirement. If an annuitant whose annuity is heretofore or

hereafter terminated because of a medical finding that he has

recovered from disability is not reemployed in a position in which

he is subject to this subchapter, his annuity shall be restored at

the same rate effective from the date of medical examination

showing a recurrence of the disability. The second and third

sentences of this subsection do not apply to an individual who has

become 62 years of age and is receiving or is eligible to receive

annuity under the first sentence of this subsection.

(f)(1) An individual is not entitled to receive -

(A) an annuity under this subchapter, and

(B) compensation for injury to, or disability of, such

individual under subchapter I of chapter 81, other than

compensation payable under section 8107,

covering the same period of time.

(2) An individual is not entitled to receive an annuity under

this subchapter and a concurrent benefit under subchapter I of

chapter 81 on account of the death of the same person.

(3) Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not bar the right of a claimant to

the greater benefit conferred by either this subchapter or

subchapter I of chapter 81.

(g) If an individual is entitled to an annuity under this

subchapter, and the individual receives a lump-sum payment for

compensation under section 8135 based on the disability or death of

the same person, so much of the compensation as has been paid for a

period extended beyond the date payment of the annuity commences,

as determined by the Department of Labor, shall be refunded to that

Department for credit to the Employees' Compensation Fund. Before

the individual may receive the annuity, the individual shall -

(1) refund to the Department of Labor the amount representing

the commuted compensation payments for the extended period; or

(2) authorize the deduction of the amount from the annuity.

Deductions from the annuity may be made from accrued or accruing

payments. The amounts deducted and withheld from the annuity shall

be transmitted to the Department of Labor for reimbursement to the

Employees' Compensation Fund. When the Department of Labor finds

that the financial circumstances of an individual entitled to an

annuity under this subchapter warrant deferred refunding,

deductions from the annuity may be prorated against and paid from

accruing payments in such manner as the Department determines

appropriate.

(h)(1) As used in this subsection, the term ''technician'' means

an individual employed under section 709(a) of title 32 or section

10216 of title 10 who, as a condition of the employment, is

required under section 709(b) of title 32 or section 10216 of title

10, respectively, to be a member of the Selected Reserve.

(2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph,

an individual shall be retired under this section if the individual

-

(i) is separated from employment as a technician under section

709(e)(1) of title 32 or section 10216 of title 10 by reason of a

disability that disqualifies the individual from membership in

the Selected Reserve;

(ii) is not considered to be disabled under the second sentence

of subsection (a) of this section;

(iii) is not appointed to a position in the Government (whether

under paragraph (3) of this subsection or otherwise); and

(iv) has not declined an offer of an appointment to a position

in the Government under paragraph (3) of this subsection.

(B) Payment of any annuity for an individual pursuant to this

subsection terminates -

(i) on the date the individual is appointed to a position in

the Government (whether pursuant to paragraph (3) of this

subsection or otherwise);

(ii) on the date the individual declines an offer of

appointment to a position in the Government under paragraph (3);

or

(iii) as provided under subsection (d).

(3) Any individual applying for or receiving any annuity pursuant

to this subsection shall, in accordance with regulations prescribed

by the Office, be considered by any agency of the Government before

any vacant position in the agency is filled if -

(A) the position is located within the commuting area of the

individual's former position;

(B) the individual is qualified to serve in such position, as

determined by the head of the agency; and

(C) the position is at the same grade or equivalent level as

the position from which the individual was separated under

section 709(e)(1) of title 32 or section 10216 of title 10.

out former subsec. (f) which read as follows: ''An individual is

not entitled to receive an annuity under this subchapter and

compensation for injury or disability to himself under subchapter I

of chapter 81 of this title covering the same period of time. This

provision does not bar the right of a claimant to the greater

benefit conferred by either subchapter for any part of the same

period of time. Neither this provision nor any provision of

subchapter I of chapter 81 of this title denies to an individual an

annuity accruing to him under this subchapter on account of service

performed by him, or denies any concurrent benefit to him under

subchapter I of chapter 81 of this title on account of the death of

another individual.''

Subsec. (g). Pub. L. 100-238 added subsec. (g) and struck out

former subsec. (g) which read as follows: ''The right of an

individual entitled to an annuity under this subchapter is not

affected because he has received a lump-sum payment for

compensation under section 8135 of this title. However, if the

annuity is payable on account of the same disability for which

compensation under section 8135 of this title has been paid, so

much of the compensation as has been paid for a period extended

beyond the date the annuity becomes effective, as determined by the

Department of Labor, shall be refunded to that Department to be

covered into the Employees' Compensation Fund. Before the

individual may receive the annuity he shall -

''(1) refund to the Department of Labor the amount representing

the commuted compensation payments for the extended period; or

''(2) authorize the deduction of that amount from the annuity

payable to him under this subchapter, which amount shall be

transmitted to the Department of Labor for reimbursement to the

Employees' Compensation Fund.

Deductions from the annuity may be made from accrued and accruing

payments. When the Department of Labor finds that the financial

circumstances of the annuitant warrant deferred refunding,

deductions from the annuity may be prorated against and paid from

accruing payments in such manner as that Department determines.''

1983 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 98-94 inserted provision that a judge

of the United States Court of Military Appeals who completes 5

years of civilian service and who is found by the Office to be

succeeding calendar years''.

efficient service in the employee's position and was not qualified

for reassignment to a vacant position in the agency at the same

grade or level and provided that an employee in the Postal Service

was to be considered not qualified for such reassignment if such

reassignment were to a position in a different craft or were

inconsistent with the terms of the appropriate collective

bargaining agreement.

1978 - Subsecs. (a) to (c). Pub. L. 95-454 substituted ''Office

of Personnel Management'' and ''Office'' for ''Civil Service

Commission'' and ''Commission'', respectively, wherever appearing.
