         CHAPTER VI--FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT INVESTMENT BOARD
 
PART 1600--EMPLOYEE ELECTIONS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE THRIFT SAVINGS PLAN--Table of Contents
 
Subpart E--Elections by Certain Senior Officials Who Were Brought Under 
  Social Security Coverage on January 1, 1984, Pursuant to the Social 
                     Security Act Amendments of 1983
 
Sec. 1600.15  Officials covered by Social Security who elected to have no other retirement coverage.

    Officials who have only Social Security coverage have the option 
pursuant to 5 CFR 846.201 to transfer to FERS. Alternatively, such 
officials may elect CSRS offset coverage or may elect to continue to 
have no retirement coverage other than Social Security. If such 
officials transfer to FERS, they may make an election to participate in 
the Thrift Savings Plan under the rules and conditions described in 
Sec. 1600.12. If such officials elect coverage under the CSRS offset 
system, they may make an election to participate in the Thrift Savings 
Plan as a CSRS employee at the same time as the election to become 
subject to the CSRS offset system, or within 30 calendar days after the 
effective date of such election. If such officials continue coverage 
under Social Security only, they may not participate in the Thrift 
Savings Plan.
