§4063 Annuity adjustment for recall service

Summary

If a retired person is called back to duty under section 3948(a), they must be paid the full salary for the position instead of their annuity while they are serving. They must also keep making Fund contributions under section 4045. The day after the recall ends, their old annuity starts again and is increased by any cost-of-living raises under section 4065 that took effect during the recall. If the recall is under one year, the retiree’s contributions are refunded under section 4055. If over one year, they can choose a supplemental annuity under section 4046 based on the recall service pay and credit. If the recall lasts at least 5 years, they may choose to have their annuity fully recomputed under section 4046 instead of other benefits. They may also apply in writing to count certain later service under section 4056 as recall service. If the recall makes them subject to part II of the rules, then the rules above do not apply and section 4064 governs the recall as if it were reemployment.
