                      Subpart K_Effect of Election
 
Sec. 839.1103  If my qualifying retirement coverage error started

when I should have been placed under FERS automatically, but my agency 
put me in CSRS because 
          I had some past service, will I get a CSRS component in my 
          FERS annuity for the service before the error if I elect FERS?

    No, employees who should have been automatically placed in FERS 
(generally because they did not have 5 years of past service under CSRS 
rules) do not have a CSRS component in their future FERS benefit. All 
service must be treated as FERS service in this circumstance.
