Subpart E—Retirement Coverage Elections for Errors That Were Previously Corrected

Moved Out of CSRS or CSRS Offset

§ 839.501   What can I elect if my employer moved me out of CSRS or CSRS Offset?

If you were moved out of CSRS or CSRS Offset due to a qualifying retirement coverage error and were placed in FERS, you may elect CSRS Offset or remain in FERS. If you were moved out of CSRS or CSRS Offset due to a qualifying retirement coverage error and were placed in Social Security-Only, you may elect CSRS Offset or remain in Social Security-Only. This is summarized in the following chart:

§ 839.511   What can I elect under the FERCCA if my employer put me into FERS by mistake and then I was not allowed to remain in FERS when the error was discovered?

An employee who was erroneously placed in FERS during a time when the employee should have had an opportunity to elect FERS is allowed to keep the erroneous FERS coverage. If the employee was given an opportunity to remain in FERS, then the employee is disqualified from making an election of retirement coverage under the FERCCA (see §839.221). If you were not allowed to remain in FERS and were placed in CSRS due to a qualifying retirement coverage error, you may elect FERS or remain in CSRS. If you were not allowed to remain in FERS and were placed in CSRS Offset due to a qualifying retirement coverage error, you may elect FERS or remain in CSRS Offset. If you were not allowed to remain in FERS and were placed in Social Security-Only due to a qualifying retirement coverage error, you may elect FERS or remain in Social Security-Only. This is summarized in the following chart:

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------                                   And your coverage          You were in:              was previously      You may elect:                                     corrected to:------------------------------------------------------------------------FERS............................
