§4071i — Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary of State must write rules to move people from the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System into the Foreign Service Pension System. The change must be done in a way like how employees moved from subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 5 (the Civil Service Retirement System) to the Federal Employees’ Retirement System (FERS). When a law talks about participation in subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 5, the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.], or title 26, those mentions must be read as referring instead to participation in the Foreign Service Pension System or the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System, as appropriate.

Foreign Relations and Intercourse — Source: USLM XML via OLRC

The Secretary of State shall issue regulations providing for the transition from the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System to the Foreign Service Pension System in a manner comparable to the transition of employees subject to subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 5 (the Civil Service Retirement System) to the Federal Employees’ Retirement System. For this and related purposes, references made to participation in subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 5 (the Civil Service Retirement System), the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.], and title 26 shall be deemed to refer to participation in the Foreign Service Pension System or the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System, as appropriate.
