Sec.  839.201  Do these rules apply to me?

                           General Provisions


    (a) These rules apply to employees who had a qualifying retirement 
coverage error. For all purposes, a qualifying retirement coverage error 
must have lasted for at least 3 years of Federal service after December 
31, 1986, as stated in the definitions section (Sec.  839.102). It does 
not matter whether you have left Federal service, retired, or have been 
reemployed as an annuitant, as long as you had a qualifying retirement 
coverage error. In addition, the survivor of an employee, separated 
employee, or retiree who had a qualifying retirement coverage error is 
also covered by these rules.
    (b) An error that lasted less than 3 years of Federal service after 
December 31, 1986, is not qualifying under the rules in this part.
    (c) For errors lasting less than 3 years that involve erroneous 
placement in FERS during a period that the employee was eligible to 
elect FERS, see Sec.  846.204(b) of this chapter for guidance.
