[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 5, Volume 3] [Revised as of January 1, 2001] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 5CFR1620.43] [Page 214] TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL CHAPTER VI--FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT INVESTMENT BOARD PART 1620--EXPANDED AND CONTINUING ELIGIBILITY--Table of Contents Subpart E--Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)--Covered Military Service Sec. 1620.43 Agency payments to record keeper; agency ultimately responsible. (a) Agency making payments to record keeper. The current employing agency always will be the agency responsible for making payments to the record keeper for all contributions (both employee and agency) and lost earnings, regardless of whether some of that expense is ultimately chargeable to a prior employing agency. (b) Agency ultimately chargeable with expense. The agency ultimately chargeable with the expense of agency contributions and lost earnings attributable to the retroactive period is ordinarily the agency that reemployed the employee. However, if an employee changed agencies during the period between the date of reemployment and October 13, 1994, the employing agency as of October 13, 1994, is the agency ultimately chargeable with the expense. (c) Reimbursement by agency ultimately chargeable with expense. If the agency that made the payments to the record keeper for agency contributions and lost earnings is not the agency ultimately chargeable for that expense, the agency that made the payments to the record keeper may, but is not required to, obtain reimbursement from the agency ultimately chargeable with the expense.
