CIVIL 'SERVICE D ISCONTIN J D SERVICE - RETIREMENT
AND CIA INVOLUNTARY RETIREMENT
1. In January 1970 the Agency implemented a policy, announced
by the Civil Service Commission, which allowed Federal Agencies to be
more liberal in retirement under the discontinued service. provisions
of the Civil Service Retirement Act. Under these liberalized pro-
cedures the Agency may request by letter the resignation of an employee
who meets all the requirements for involuntary retirement, is employed
in an organizational component where a surplus of personnel exists and
is willing to be retired as surplus. Concurrently, we extended the
CIARDS policy to provide for involuntary retirement of participants
who meet all requirements for involuntary retirement, are employed in
an organizational component where a surplus exists and are willing to
be involuntarily retired. These-additional options for early retire-
ment made. it pos.s.ibl,e for interested..employees to retire on an. annuity
at an earlier date than would otherwise be possible. The two new
options also combined to provide a.valuab.le mechanism for reducing the
Agency's on-duty strength in order to reach reduced-ceiling authoriza-
tions.
2.. In order to.retire under these-options an employee must meet.
the following requirements:
Civil Service System
a. Attained 50 years of age and have completed 20 years
of creditable Federal service, or
b. Have completed, 25 years of creditable Federal service
at any age.
CIA System
Have completed 25 years of creditable Federal service at
any age, have 10 years service with CIA and 60 months of
qualifying service.

3. These options for retirement will continue only as long as
a surplus in personnel strength exists. It ,is not possible at this
time to predict how long this situation will last. In order to
assist interested employees in planning for the future, it, has been
determined that these options will be available until 30 June 1971.
