The Servicing Personnel Office must advise the employee in writing of a 60-day notice period. The employee cannot be separated until the end of the month in which the notice expires.

An employee with 20 years covered service can retire anytime within the notice period.

The FF/LEO Retirement Specialist will send a reminder to servicing personnel offices, when the eligibility status of an employee is known.

Servicing personnel offices are responsible for tracking employees' special retirement coverage. See sample Work History form for use in tracking an employee’s special retirement coverage.

For sample notifications of mandatory retirement for both CSRS and FERS, click here.

Personnel offices must use Personnel Action, SF-50, Nature of Action Code 300, Retirement-Mandatory, Authority Code SWM; and Reason stated in the Remarks: "mandatory retirement due to age and service."

A mandatory separation is not an adverse action under 5 CFR Part 752 or a removal action under 5 CFR Part 359. A mandatory separation is not an appealable action.
