Question
In 2001 I worked for the social security administration. While there I bought my military time for retirement. The SSA had me write the check to the Department of the Interior who I was told was handling those issues. Last year, I looked into my time I had in FERS and discovered that my time that I paid for had never been credited. I had no documentation to prove I had paid. Last week, I found a copy of all of the paperwork that had been mailed to me, including a copy of the check showing I paid for the time back in 2001. How do I go about getting my records corrected and getting my military time credited to my retirement?
Answer
If you are currently employed you should contact your Human Resource office. If you have separated you should mail the documentation to OPM at the following address:
