§3518 Special annuity computation rules for certain employees’ service abroad

Summary

If a CIA officer or employee retired on or after October 1, 1989, was not designated under section 2013, and served abroad on or after January 1, 1987, their pension must be figured in a special way. Pay for service abroad done during the person’s first ten years of total service is figured using the rate and percent that normally apply only to service beyond ten years under section 8339(a)(3). Pay for service abroad done after the first ten years is figured as 8339(a)(3) says, and an equal amount of that later service is also treated as if it had been done during the first ten years so the special rate from above also applies to that deemed time. All other service is figured under the regular rules of section 8339(a). “Total service” means the same thing it does in chapter 83 of title 5. For the purposes of subsections (f) through (m) of section 8339, a pension figured this way is treated as if it were computed under subsections (a) and (o) of section 8339. If another part of section 8339 would give a larger pension, the special rules do not apply.
