FERS Definitions
Crediting 3-Years Rigorous Service The 3-year requirement is met by an employee who transfers to a supervisory or administrative position "after performing duties" that met the conditions that would qualify a position as a rigorous position (5 USC 8401(14)(B) and (17)(C)). For purposes of the 3-year requirement, it does not matter whether the service is actually made creditable by payment of a deposit or whether the service cannot be made creditable. Thus, non-deduction service -- for example, service under a temporary or intermittent appointment -- can count toward the 3-year requirement. Even post-1988 non-deduction service (which can never be made creditable under FERS for annuity entitlement or computation purposes) can be used to meet the 3-year requirement. Service performed BEFORE 1987, and not subject to retirement deductions, must be submitted for coverage determination under CSRS procedures. In all cases under FERS procedures, to have the special benefit coverage while in a secondary position, the employee is required to be serving in a rigorous position actually subject to FERS deductions at the time of transfer to a secondary position.
