§3518 Special Annuity Computation Rules for Certain Employees’ Service Abroad

Summary

Gives special pension rules for certain CIA officers and employees who retire on or after October 1, 1989, are not designated under section 2013, and who served overseas on or after January 1, 1987. Their retirement pay must be figured using the rules below instead of the regular calculations in chapter 83 of title 5. If the overseas time was done during the person’s first ten years of total service, that part of the pension is figured using the rate and percent in 5 U.S.C. 8339(a)(3) that normally applies only to service beyond ten years. If the overseas time was done after the first ten years, it is figured under 8339(a)(3) as usual, and an equal amount of service is also treated as if it had been done during the first ten years so the higher rate applies to that deemed period. Other service is figured under the normal 8339 rules. “Total service” means the same as in chapter 83. For applying subsections (f)–(m) of 8339, an annuity figured under these rules counts as if it were computed under subsections (a) and (o) of 8339. If another applicable rule would give a larger annuity, that larger amount must be used.
