CIA RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY SYSTEM
1. A major change in the method of designating employees as
participants in the CIA Retirement and Disability System (CIARDS)
became effective 1 September 1976.
2. Prior to that date, employees were designated as participants
in CIARDS:
a. After they had completed five years of Agency service
if they had performed a minimum of 18 months of qualifying service;
or
b. After ten years of Agency service if they had performed
a minimum of 36 months of qualifying service; or
c. After fifteen years of Agency service if they had per-
formed a minimum of 60 months of qualifying service.
3. The records of employees designated as participants prior to
the completion of fifteen years of Agency service were reviewed when the
participants completed 10 or 15 years of Agency service to ensure the
employees continued to meet qualifying service standards for the number
of years of Agency service completed. If the review indicated minimum
periods of qualifying service were no longer met, employees were removed
from CIARDS participation.
4. The practice of designating as participants in CIARDS those
employees with 18 and 36 months of qualifying service for five and ten
years of Agency service, respectively, has been discontinued. Employees
must now complete a minimum of 60 months of qualifying service before
they can be designated as participants in CIARDS.
5. Employees who are currently participants, but have completed
less than 60 months of qualifying service, will be allowed. to remain in
CIARDS until their next regular review date. If they have not completed
the required 60 months of qualifying service at that time, they will be
removed from CIARDS participation. These reviews will continue until
all participants with less than 60 months of qualifying service are
either removed from or attain permanent participation in CIARDS.
6. A former participant may be redesignated a participant in
CIARDS upon completion of 60 months of qualifying service.
7. Service qualifying an Agency employee for designation as a
participant in CIARDS is performance of duty:
