How do I make a payment to get credit for service?
You should apply to make a payment by completing a Standard Form 2803 if you
are covered by the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). You should use
Standard Form 3108 if you are covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System
(FERS).
If you are within six months of retirement, you should submit your request to
make the deposit or redeposit at the same time you
submit your application for retirement. You can use a form or letter to do this.
We will notify you of any amounts due so you can decide whether or not to make
the payment. We cannot, however, authorize your regular annuity payments until
we have your decision about the payment.
