Claim Number
Complete and return this form if your allowable earnings were more than $15,480 or if your FERS
Annuity Supplement was reduced in a previous year.
The annuity supplement part of your FERS benefit is subject to an earnings test similar to the one applied to social
security benefits and uses the same exempt amount, as required by law in 5 U.S.C. Section 8421a. Your annuity
supplement will be reduced $1.00 for every $2.00 by which you exceed the exempt amount ($15,480 for 2014).
By law, this reduction is effective July 1, 2015. We apply the test only to earnings you received in 2014 after
retirement and after you reach the Minimum Retirement Age (MRA). The exempt amount for 2015 is $15,720.
Please answer the following questions and return this survey form before May 15, 2015, or as soon as you know
the exact amount of your allowable earnings.

supplement currently reduced because you reported excess earnings in a previous year? (Darken
