Application for Immediate Retirement
Federal Employees
Retirement System
Federal Employees Retirement System
This application is for you if you are a Federal employee covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) and you wish
to apply for retirement with an immediate annuity. You should use this application if you want to apply for an annuity which will
begin within 30 days of your separation from Federal service.
Do not use this application to apply for a deferred annuity. A deferred annuity begins more than 30 days after the date of final
separation. If you want to apply for a deferred annuity, call the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on 1-888-767-6738
(TTY: 1-855-887-4957) to request an RI 92-19, FERS Application for Deferred or Postponed Retirement. If you prefer, you can
write to us at Office of Personnel Management, Federal Employees Retirement System, P.O. Box 45, Boyers, PA 16017-0045, or
email us at [email protected]. You can also find this form on our website at www.opm.gov/forms/Retirement-and-Insurance-Forms.
You should have received an informational pamphlet SF 3113, Applying for Immediate Retirement Under the Federal Employees
Retirement System, with this application. If you did not receive the pamphlet you should get a copy from your employing agency or
from our website at
www.opm.gov/retirement-services/publications-forms/pamphlets/#url=FERS.
Retirement benefits and retirement processing are complicated. Read the information in the pamphlet carefully. When you decide to
retire, give your agency advance notice so it can be sure your records are complete and it can carry out its responsibilities in
processing the paperwork associated with your retirement.
Give your completed application to the personnel office of your employing agency. They will forward your application to your
agency payroll office and then to the Office of Personnel Management for processing. If you have any questions, ask your employing
office for assistance.
You must apply separately for any benefits payable from the Thrift Savings Plan and the Social Security Administration.
If your address changes after your application has been forwarded to the Office of Personnel Management, call us on 1-888-767-6738
(TTY: 1-855-887-4957). If you prefer, you can write to us at the address above. If you have received your claim number, please refer
to it. If you have not received your claim number we'll need your name, date of birth and social security number.
Instructions for Completing Application
Type or print clearly. If you need more space in any section, use
a plain piece of paper with your name, date of birth, and Social
Security Number written at the top. If you do not know an
answer write "unknown." If you are unsure of information (for
example, if you do not know an exact date), answer to the best
of your ability, followed by a question mark (?).
The following additional information should help you to answer
those questions on the application which are not entirely
self-explanatory.
Section A - Identifying Information
Item 2: List other names under which you have been employed
in the Federal government (such as a maiden name).
This will help us to locate and identify records
maintained under these names.
Item 3: Enter the address to which correspondence should be
mailed. Do not enter the bank address where your
payments will be deposited here; see Section H of the
application form for payment information.
Item 4: Give a telephone number where you can be reached
after you retire and the best time to reach you during
business hours.
Section B - Federal Service
Item 2: Enter the date of final separation for retirement. (Leave
blank if applying for disability retirement and not
separated.) Please note that if you are currently serving
in more than one appointive or elective position in the
Federal Government, you must separate from all such
positions before you can qualify for an immediate
retirement.
Item 4: Indicate whether or not you have performed active duty
that terminated under honorable conditions in the
armed services or other uniformed services of the
United States including the following:
a. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force or Coast
Guard of United States;
b. Regular Corps or Reserved Corps of the Public
Health Service after June 30, 1960;
c. Commissioned Officer of the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration after June 30,
1961 or a predecessor entity in function;
d. Cadet at the U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Air
Force Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, or
midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy.
e. Excluding the National Guard, active service in the
reserve components of the uniformed services,
including active duty for training, is military
service. Service as a National Guard member does
not meet the definition of military service for
purposes of civil service retirement, except when
the member is ordered to active duty in the service
of the United States or performs full-time National
Guard duty (as such term is defined in section
101(d) of title 10) if the National Guard duty
interrupts creditable civilian service under
subchapter I of chapter 84 of title 5, and is
followed by reemployment in accordance with
chapter 43 of title 38 that occurs on or after August
1, 1990.

If you have performed such service, complete and
attach Schedule A, furnishing the requested information
for each period of active duty.
To receive FERS credit for military service performed
on or after January 1, 1957, you must pay a deposit.
The amount of the deposit is:
For service performed through 12/31/98
(3% of your military basic pay).
For service performed from 1/1/99 through
12/31/99 (3.25% of your military basic pay).
For service performed from 1/1/00 through
12/31/00 (3.4% of your military basic pay).
For service performed from 1/1/01 to the present
(3% of your military basic pay).
Read the information about survivor benefits found in the
pamphlet, Applying for Immediate Retirement Under
FERS, before completing Section D.
If you are waiving military retired pay for FERS
retirement purposes, your agency can help you
prepare your request for waiver. Attaching a copy of
your waiver request and the military finance center's
acknowledgment (if available) to your application may
help us to process your claim more quickly. (Even if
you have already waived your military retired pay to
receive benefits from the Department of Veterans
Affairs, you also need to file a waiver for FERS.)
Section C - Marital Information
Item 2: Indicate whether you have a living former spouse
to whom a court order awards a survivor annuity
or a portion of your retirement benefits based on
your Federal employment. If you answer "yes,"
you must submit a certified copy of the court
order and any attachments or amendments.
Section D - Annuity Election
(See pages 13-20 of SF 3113, Applying for Immediate
Retirement Under the Federal Employees Retirement
System.)
Survivor elections terminate upon the death of the person
elected. An election of a survivor annuity for a current
spouse in box 1 or 2 also terminates upon a divorce from
that spouse. An election of a survivor annuity for a former
spouse in box 5 also terminates if that former spouse
remarries before age 55, unless the annuitant and the
former spouse were married for 30 years or more. You
must notify us when one of those events terminating a
survivor election occurs. Also notify us if a former spouse
who is entitled to a survivor annuity under a court order
acceptable for processing becomes ineligible for the
former spouse annuity because of a reason specified in the
court order or because of a remarriage prior to age 55.
You must pay the deposit to your agency while you are
still employed. You may not pay OPM after you retire.
If you are entitled to have part of your retirement
computed under CSRS rules, military service
performed prior to your transfer to FERS comes under
CSRS deposit rules. These rules are as follows:
The CSRS deposit is 7 percent of your military
basic pay.
If you were first employed in a civilian position
subject to CSRS coverage before October 1,
1982, you do not pay the deposit and you are
eligible for a Social Security benefit at age 62,
the CSRS part of your annuity will be
recomputed at age 62 to delete credit for the
post-1956 military service.
If you were first employed in a civilian position
subject to CSRS coverage on or after October 1,
1982, you will not receive any credit for
post-1956 military service if you do not make
the deposit for it.
CSRS military service deposits must also be paid
to your agency while you are still employed.
Item 5: If you are receiving, or have applied for, military retired
pay or benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs
in lieu of military retired pay, answer "yes" to Item 5,
then complete and attach Schedule B-Military Retired
Pay. (Note: Military retired pay includes disability
retired pay and reserve retainer pay.)
This information is needed to assure correct credit for
military service. With limited exceptions, you must
waive your military retired pay to receive credit for your
military service in your FERS annuity.
You may receive credit in your FERS annuity for your
military service without waiving your military retired
pay if you are entitled to military retired pay awarded
for:
reserve service under Chapter 1223, title 10,
U.S. Code (formerly Chapter 67, title 10); or
a disability incurred in combat with an enemy of
the United States; or caused by an
instrumentality of war in the line of duty during
a period of war as defined by Section 1101 of
title 38.
Attach a copy of your retirement order from your
military service to this application. If applicable, also
attach a copy of your military service's determination
that your military disability retirement was service
connected and incurred in combat as described, or
caused by an instrumentality of war as described. Only
your military service branch can make this
determination; the Department of Veterans Affairs
cannot make this determination. If you do not have
verification of the type and conditions of your military
retirement, you should get the verification from the
retirement service organization of your military service
before you retire from your civilian position.
The law gives an alternate method to compute the
military deposit if an employee served on active duty,
and such service interrupted creditable civilian service
under subchapter I of chapter 84 of title 5, and was
followed by reemployment in accordance with chapter
43 of title 38 that occurs on or after August 1, 1990.
The employee pays no more than the amount of
retirement contributions that would have been withheld
from basic pay during civilian service if the employee
had not performed the period of military service.
Obtain counseling from the military before waiving
military retired pay for FERS retirement if you receive
or may receive Combat Related Special Compensation
(CRSC) or concurrent receipt of military retired pay
and veterans compensation.
Reminder: Even if you have waived military retired
pay or qualify for one of the exceptions to waiver, you
must pay a military deposit for your military service
performed after 1956 to receive credit for the service
in your FERS annuity, and the military deposit must be
paid to your employing agency before you retire.
Please note that, in accordance with the law, both a survivor
annuity election made at retirement and a survivor annuity
election made before a divorce, terminate upon death or
divorce and the annuitant must make a new election (reelection)
within 2 years after the terminating event to provide a survivor
annuity for a spouse acquired after retirement or for a former
spouse. Continuing a survivor reduction, by itself, is not
effective to reelect a survivor annuity for a spouse married after
retirement or for a former spouse.
Box 4: If you initial Box 4, a person selected by you,
who has an insurable interest in you, will receive
a survivor annuity upon your death. Insurable
interest exists if the person named may reasonably
expect to derive financial benefit from your
continued life. A disabled child or a former
spouse are persons who might have an insurable
interest in you.
If you choose an insurable interest survivor
annuity, the survivor annuity will be 55 percent of
your annuity after your annuity has been reduced
to provide this benefit. The table below shows the
reduction percentages.
Any employee who is not retiring for disability
and who can prove good health may elect a
reduced annuity to provide a survivor annuity for
a person having an insurable interest in the
retiree.
You may elect this insurable interest survivor annuity
in addition to a regular survivor annuity for a current or
former spouse. If you elect an insurable interest annuity
for your current spouse, you must both jointly waive
the current spouse annuity. Generally, an insurable
interest annuity cannot be cancelled. However, if you
elect an insurable interest annuity for your current
spouse because a former spouse is entitled to the
regular survivor annuity (under a court order acceptable
for processing or based on your election of that
survivor benefit for the former spouse), you can
convert the insurable interest election for your current
spouse to a current spouse annuity within two (2) years
of the former spouse losing entitlement to the regular
survivor annuity.
If you choose an insurable interest annuity, the amount
of the reduction in your annuity will depend upon the
difference between your age and the age of the person
named as survivor annuitant, as shown in the table
below.
Age of the Person Named
in Relation to That of
Retiring Employee
Reduction
in Annuity
of Retiring
Employee
Older, same age, or less than 5 years younger 10%
5 but less than 10 years younger 15%
10 but less than 15 years younger 20%
15 but less than 20 years younger 25%
20 but less than 25 years younger 30%
25 but less than 30 years younger 35%
30 or more years younger 40%
You may elect to provide a survivor annuity for more
than one former spouse. The total of the survivor
annuities must equal either 25% or 50% of your
unreduced annuity.
If you are married, you must have your spouse's consent
to choose this option, because any benefit elected for a
former spouse limits what can be elected for your
current spouse. (Complete and attach SF 3107-2,
Spouse's Consent to Survivor Election, to your
application.) The maximum combined survivor benefits
that can be elected for your current and former spouse(s)
is 50% of your benefit.
Section E - Insurance Information
Item 1b: Indicate whether there is a court order or
administrative order currently in effect that
requires you to provide health benefits coverage
for your child(ren). If you answer "yes", you must
submit a copy of the court order or administrative
order.
Section F - Other Claim Information
Item 1: If you have applied for, or have ever received, workers'
compensation from the Office of Workers'
Compensation Programs, U.S. Department of Labor,
because of a job-related illness or injury, check the
"yes" box and complete Schedule C.
In Schedule C you should provide the following
information:
1. If you are receiving or have received
compensation, enter your compensation claim
number(s), the beginning and ending dates of each
period for which compensation was paid, and
whether the benefits were a scheduled award,
disability or other type of compensation.
2. If you have applied for, but are not receiving
benefits, indicate whether your claim is pending
or has been denied and the claim numbers
applicable.
3. Indicate whether you agree to notify us if the
status of your workers' compensation claim
changes and whether or not you authorize the
Office of Personnel Management and/or the
Office of Workers' Compensation Programs to
collect any overpayment if we find that you
were paid, but not eligible for, both compensation
and annuity benefits covering the same period of
time. Without this authorization from you, we
will not pay your annuity until we can confirm
that OWCP is not paying you compensation.
The information requested regarding benefits from
the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs is
needed because the law prohibits the dual compen-
sation which would exist if you received both a
FERS annuity and compensation for total or partial
disability under the Federal Employees' Compen-
sation Act.
Section G - Information About Children
Complete Section G by providing the names and dates of birth
of your unmarried dependent children under the age of 22. Also
list any child who is over age 22 and incapable of self-support
because of mental or physical disability incurred before age 18.
Check the box headed "disabled" by the name of each child to
whom this applies. Information about your children in your
annuity claim file may help to expedite the processing of claims
for survivor benefits in the event of your death.
Standard Form 3107

Revised May 2014
Box 5: If you initial box 5, your former spouse(s) will receive a
survivor annuity upon your death. The maximum
survivor annuity payable to your former spouse(s) is
50% of your unreduced annuity. Your annuity will be
reduced 5% or 10% according to the total benefit you
want to provide.
Section H - Payment Instructions
Complete in all cases. The US Department of the Treasury pays
all Federal benefit payments electronically. Most Federal
payments are paid by Direct Deposit into a savings or checking
account at a financial institution. If you do not have a bank
account, or prefer not to have your annuity payments deposited
directly to your bank account, you can choose a Direct Express
debit card. If you choose this option, your annuity payment will
be automatically deposited to the Direct Express card on the
payment date. To obtain a debit card, go to www.godirect.org or
call 1-800-333-1795. If your payments are not electronically
deposited to your account and you do not have a Direct Express
card, you must contact the Department of the Treasury at
1-800-333-1795.
You cannot receive your annuity payments by direct deposit or
the Direct Express debit card program if your permanent
payment address is outside the United States in a country where
these programs are not available.
Section I - Applicant's Certification
Be sure to sign (do not print) and date your application after
reviewing the warning.
Privacy Act Statement
Solicitation of this information is authorized by the Federal Employees Retirement law, (Chapter 84, title 5, U.S. Code), the Federal Employees Group Life Insurance
law (Chapter 87, title 5, U.S. Code) and the Federal Employees Health Benefits law (Chapter 89, title 5, U.S. Code). The information you furnish will be used to
identify records properly associated with your application for Federal benefits, to obtain additional information if necessary, to determine and allow present or future
benefits, and to maintain a unique identifiable claim file. The information may be shared and is subject to verification via paper, electronic media, or through the use
of computer matching programs with national, state, local or other charitable or social security administrative agencies in order to determine benefits under their
programs, to obtain information necessary for determination or continuation of benefits under this program, or to report income for tax purposes. It may also be shared
and verified, as noted above, with law enforcement agencies when they are investigating a violation or potential violation of civil or criminal law. Executive Order
9397 (November 22, 1943) authorizes use of the Social Security Number. The Government may use your number in collecting and reporting amounts that you owe
the Government. Failure to furnish the requested information may delay or prevent action on your application. Information you provide about your unmarried
dependent children may be used to expedite their claims after you die; however, your failure to supply such information will not affect any future rights they may

Section D - Annuity Election
Make your election by initialing the box beside the type of annuity you want to receive and give any other information requested. Read the pamphlet SF 3113,
Applying for Immediate Retirement under FERS and the explanations below and consider your election carefully. No change will be permitted after your
annuity is granted except as explained in the pamphlet. If you are married at retirement, the law provides an annuity with full survivor benefits for your spouse
unless your spouse consents to your election not to provide maximum survivor benefits.
Your election to provide a survivor annuity for a current spouse terminates upon the death of that spouse or if the marriage ends due to divorce or annulment.
You are required to make a new election (reelect) within 2 years of the terminating event if you wish to reelect a survivor annuity for a former spouse or within
2 years of a post-retirement marriage to elect a survivor annuity for a spouse acquired after retirement. Continuing a survivor reduction by itself, is not

1.
I choose a reduced annuity with maximum survivor annuity for my spouse named in Section C. If you are married at retirement,
you will receive this type of annuity unless your spouse consents to your election not to provide maximum survivor benefits. If you
receive this annuity, your annuity will be reduced by 10%. Your spouse's annuity upon your death will be 50% of your unreduced
earned annuity.

Insurance Program, if he/she is not enrolled at the time of your death. If you are married and elect this, complete form SF 3107-2,
Spouse's Consent to Survivor Election, and attach it to your application.

Spouse's Consent to Survivor Election
Instructions: If you are married and you do not elect a reduced annuity to provide a maximum survivor annuity for your current spouse,
complete Part 1. Have your spouse complete Part 2. Part 2 must be completed in the presence of a Notary Public or other person authorized to

a. No regular or insurable interest survivor annuity for my current spouse. I understand that:
No survivor annuity will be paid to my spouse after my death,
His/her health benefits coverage will terminate upon my death, and
He/she will not be eligible to enroll in the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) after my death.
b. An insurable interest annuity for my current spouse, but no regular survivor annuity for my current spouse. (I have completed Section D, item 4 on
my Standard Form 3107 naming my current spouse.)

in Part 1.a. above, I will not receive a survivor annuity, my health benefits coverage will terminate and I will not be eligible to enroll in the Federal Long
Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) if I am not already enrolled before my spouse's death. I also understand that my consent is final (not
revocable).

General Information: The law requires that a retiring, married employee
must elect to provide a survivor annuity for a current spouse, unless the
current spouse consents to an election not to provide the maximum
survivor benefit.
A court order which requires a retiring employee to provide a survivor
annuity for a former spouse is not an election and spousal consent is not
required. In other words, such a court order does not require a current
spouse to waive the right to a survivor annuity for the current spouse even
though the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) must honor the terms
of the court order before it can honor the election for the current spouse.
The current spouse may, therefore, receive a smaller annuity than elected,
or none at all, unless the former spouse loses eligibility for the court-ordered
survivor annuity (through remarriage before age 55 or death).
Important: If the current spouse consents to an election to provide no
survivor annuity or a partial survivor annuity and is later divorced from the
retired employee, the retired employee may not then elect (nor can OPM
honor a court order) to provide a former spouse annuity which exceeds the
amount elected at retirement for that spouse. This also applies if the parties
remarry.
