The Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Retirement Services has announced an opportunity for the public and other federal agencies to provide feedback on the reinstatement of a previously expired information collection request, titled Request for Change to Unreduced Annuity, RI 20-120. This form helps retired federal employees adjust their benefits following the end of a marriage, allowing them to change to an unreduced annuity. OPM is seeking comments on various aspects of this information collection, including its necessity, effectiveness, and the burden it may impose on respondents. Feedback will be accepted until February 18, 2025, via the Federal Rulemaking Portal.
Simple Explanation
The office in charge of government retirements is asking people to tell them if it's helpful to let retired workers change their money benefits when they end a marriage, but they didn't explain some things very clearly, like what changing the benefits really means or who this will affect.
