Certification of D.C. Service for Retirement Eligibility
If you are a federal employee who performed service with the District of Columbia, the RI 20-126 form (OMB No. 3206-0268) is used to certify that your D.C. service qualifies under 5 U.S.C. 8332 (note) for determining retirement eligibility. The certification affects eligibility only and cannot be used to compute Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS) benefit amounts. OPM is requesting public comments on this collection through December 26, 2025; OPM estimates 1,000 respondents, 30 minutes per respondent, and 500 total burden hours.
