Summary

When someone leaves the Agency, they can either get their contributions back under section 2071(a) or keep the money in the fund and start a deferred annuity at age 62 calculated under section 2031. The annuity option is not allowed if the Director finds the separation was due to disloyalty. If the person dies before age 62 and had chosen the deferred annuity option, their contributions plus interest must be paid out under section 2071.
