## Summary

This bill would **ensure that an annuity supplement is treated as part of any court-ordered division of a federal annuity unless the court order explicitly excludes it**. It also creates a limited retroactive process to reimburse some retirees and to waive certain past overpayments. - Retirees with annuity supplements: If a court decree expressly divides an annuity under subchapter II, the annuity supplement under 5 U.S.C. 8421 must be included in that division unless the decree expressly excludes it. The rule applies to payments beginning on or after enactment and guides future splits. - Covered annuitants with post-enactment recomputations: People whose supplements were recomputed by the Office of Personnel Management between June 30, 2016 and enactment and who lost amounts because the supplement was added to a division would receive a one-time payment equal to the amount deducted. The payment comes from the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund and carries no interest. - Former spouses and overpayments: Overpayments or apportionment overpayments made before enactment that resulted from excluding the supplement are waived so no repayment is required. The bill also directs OPM to adopt the new definitions and procedures for these cases.
