§4063 Annuity Adjustment for Recall Service

Summary

If a retired employee is called back to duty under section 3948(a), they must be paid the full salary for the job instead of getting their pension while they are working. While on recall they must keep making retirement contributions to the Fund under section 4045. The day after the recall ends, their pension starts again and is increased by any cost-of-living raises that became effective under section 4065 during the recall. If the recall is less than 1 year, the worker’s contributions are refunded under section 4055. If it lasts more than 1 year, the worker can choose a supplemental annuity under section 4046 based on the recall service pay and credit. If the recall is at least 5 years, they can choose to have their annuity fully recalculated under section 4046 instead of other recall benefits. A recalled annuitant can also ask to count certain post-separation work as recall service under section 4056. If recall makes the person subject to part II of this subchapter, subsections (a) and (b) do not apply and section 4064 governs the recall as if it were reemployment.
