Summary

When a law creates new or larger benefits paid from the Fund—like higher annuities (except under section 4065), adding new groups of employees, or raising the pay used to figure benefits—Congress can provide money to cover the cost. Each fiscal year Congress can appropriate to the Fund the Foreign Service normal cost for that year that is not covered by contributions under section 4045(a).
