PART 839_CORRECTION OF RETIREMENT COVERAGE ERRORS UNDER THE FEDERAL ERRONEOUS 
 
                          Subpart B_Eligibility
 
Sec.  839.221  If my qualifying retirement coverage error was that I was put 

into FERS by mistake and then, after the error was discovered, I chose my 

current retirement coverage, can I now make another election?

    No, OPM regulations allow certain employees who were put in FERS in 
error to choose between remaining in FERS or being covered under their 
automatic retirement coverage. (See Sec.  846.204(b)(2) of this 
chapter). If you already had this opportunity to choose your retirement 
coverage; then you may not make an election of retirement coverage based 
on the same error under these rules.
