Sec.  839.902  Will my CSRS retirement deductions be used to pay the Social 

Security taxes for the period of the qualifying retirement coverage error if I 

was erroneously placed in CSRS and did not pay Social Security taxes?

    (a) If your qualifying retirement coverage error was not previously 
corrected, the amount erroneously withheld for CSRS retirement 
deductions will be:
    (1) Used to pay your new retirement deduction amount; and
    (2) Applied toward any Social Security taxes you owe for the time 
you were in the wrong retirement plan.
    (b) You will get Social Security credit for all the time you were 
erroneously covered by CSRS. Your employer will send the Social Security 
Administration a record of your earnings for all the years you should 
have had Social Security coverage.
