Question
How does my personnel office process my application?
Answer
Your personnel office must take the following actions to process your
retirement application:
-
Complete the "Agency Check List of Immediate Retirement Procedures," Standard
Form 2801, Schedule D (CSRS) or 3701, Schedule D (FERS);
-
Prepare and obtain your signature on the "Certified Summary of Federal
Service," Standard Form 2801-1 (CSRS) or 3701-1 (FERS);
-
Verify any service not fully documented in your OPF; [Note:If documentation
is missing, verification may be obtained by contacting federal record centers.
If the personnel office is unable to obtain verification, we will complete
verification upon receipt of your retirement application and records. This
process will cause a delay in processing of your claim.]
-
Certify and transfer your coverage under the Federal Employees' Group Life
Insurance (FEGLI) program to OPM;
-
Transfer your enrollment under the Federal Employees' Health Benefits (FEHB)
program to OPM;
-
Prepare Standard Form (SF) 50, "Notification of Personnel Action."; and
-
Send all of your retirement materials to your payroll office.
