Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) Individuals - A deadline of September 30, 1989, was made for individuals to claim coverage for all service prior to
1989. After that, for CSRS (5 USC 8336(c)) individuals with DOI service, coverage in a position or credit for past service will not be granted for a period greater
than one year prior to the date the claim is received by the Firefighter and Law Enforcement Retirement Team
(FLERT). However, CSRS employees with service
beyond this one year limit may, under special circumstances, request late coverage approval. |
Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) Individuals - FERS (5 USC 8412(d)) individuals with service in DOI positions that have not been
determined to be covered under the special retirement provisions, must formally initiate a position coverage claim in writing to FLERT within six months of entering
the position. FERS employees with service in non-covered positions prior to this deadline may, under special circumstances, request late coverage approval.
