         Subpart C--Employer Responsibility to Notify Employees
 
Sec. 839.304  What if my employer does not notify me?

    (a) If your error has not previously been corrected, the 6-month 
time limit on making an election of retirement coverage under the FERCCA 
(see Sec. 839.611(a)) does not begin to run until you are notified of 
the error.
    (b) If your error was previously corrected, the 18-month time limit 
on making an election of retirement coverage ends on September 19, 2002. 
Employers and OPM may extend the time limit if you were prevented from 
making a timely election due to a cause beyond your control (see 
Sec. 839.612).
