View Rule

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing an NPRM, on an annual basis, to revise the table of reduction factors for early commencing dates of survivor annuities for spouses of separated employees who die before the date on which they would be eligible for unreduced deferred annuities, and to revise the annuity factor for spouses  of deceased employees who die in service when those spouses elect to receive the basic employee death benefit in 36 installments under the Federal Employees’ Retirement System (FERS) Act of 1986. These rules are necessary to conform the tables to the economic and demographic assumptions adopted by the Board of Actuaries and published in the Federal Register.
