SUBJECT: Hearing on H.R. 2300: Civil Service Spouse
Retirement Equity Act
1. On 20 June I attended a House Committee on Post
Office and Civil Service hearing regarding previously
introduced former ppouse legislation affecting the Civil
Service at large (Civil Service Spouse Retirement Equity
Act--H.R. 2300). This Bill would incorporate former spouse
provisions into the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)
similar to those already contained in the CIA Retirement and
Disability System, i.e., the basic purpose is to provide a
qualified former spouse of a Federal employee with a portion
of the employee's CSRS annuity.
2. The Office of Personnel Management went on record as
opposing this Bill and as a result it was redrafted to
provide only survivor benefits to former spouses. It will
now go back to the Committee Staff for ironing out some of
the technical provisions brought up in the hearing. It is
not certain that the Bill will be enacted during this
session of Congress. This Bill should not be confused with
Congressmen Mazzoli and Whitehurst's bill which will give
CIARDS spouses divorced before 1978 the same benefits as
those included in the legislation providing benefits to
spouses of CIARDS annuitants who were divorced after 1978.
