§8464 — Title 5 Government Organization and Employees | U.S. Code

Summary

Tells when annuity payments from the Fund must start. For most people retiring under section 8412 or some parts of section 8414, payments start on the first day of the month after they leave service. If they retire under section 8413, payments start the first day of the month after their pay stops and they meet the age and service rules. For other specified 8414 cases and for retirements under section 8451, payments start the day after separation or the day after pay stops once they are eligible. If a section 8412 retirement happens because an appointed or elected term ends, payments start the day after separation. For annuitants under subchapter II or V, the annuity ends on the date of death or on the date another ending event occurs.
