                    TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL
 
          CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
 
PART 837_REEMPLOYMENT OF ANNUITANTS--Table of Contents
 
                          Subpart G_CSRS Offset
 
Sec.  837.702  Offset from supplemental survivor annuity.

    (a) OPM will reduce a supplemental survivor annuity (an annuity 
under 5 U.S.C. 8341) based on the service of an individual who performed 
CSRS-Offset service, if the survivor annuitant is entitled, or on proper 
application would be entitled, to survivor benefits under section 
202(d), (e), or (f) (relating to children's, widows', and widowers' 
benefits, respectively) of the Social Security Act.
    (b) The reduction required under paragraph (a) of this section 
begins (or is reinstated) on the first day of the month during which the 
survivor annuitant--
    (1) Is entitled to a disability or survivor annuity under CSRS; and
    (2) Is entitled, or on proper application would be entitled, to 
survivor benefits under the Social Security Act provisions mentioned in 
paragraphs (a) and (c) of this section, respectively.
    (c) The reduction under paragraphs (a) of this section will be 
computed and adjusted in a manner consistent with the provisions of 
Sec.  837.701 (c) through (e) of this part.
    (d) A reduction under paragraph (a) of this section stops on the 
date entitlement to the disability or survivor benefits under title II 
of the Social Security Act terminates. In the case of a survivor 
annuitant who has not made proper application for the social security 
benefit, the reduction under paragraph (a) of this section stops on the 
date entitlement to such survivor benefits would otherwise terminate. If 
a social security benefit is reduced under any provision of the Social 
Security Act, even if reduced to zero, entitlement to that benefit is 
not considered to have terminated.
    (e) OPM will accept the determination or certification of the Social 
Security Administration, submitted in a form prescribed by OPM, 
concerning entitlement to social security survivor benefits and the 
beginning and ending dates thereof.
