To All Employees

Combined FederalCampaign

Our participation in the 1978Combined Federal Campaign'sannual appeal will soon beginthroughout the Postal Service.

This once-a-year intensivedrive provides the financialfoundation to more than 100voluntary health and welfareagencies whose essential andspecialized services are per-formed in local communities,the Nation, and overseas. Theseagencies depend on our con*tributions to continue theirvital humanitarian role. Theydeserve our collective support.

This year the Postal Serviceis introducing a single copypledge card, systemwide. Thissingle card will greatly sim-plify the process of giving. Inthis regard, I commend to youthe convenience of contributingthrough payroll deductions.

I strongly endorse this worth-while program and urge eachof you to join me in giving asgenerously as your means per-mit.

Discontinuance ofAPO/FPO Numbers inHawaii & AlaskaEffective September 3,1977

The Department of Defense hasdetermined that some of their mili-tary post office operations in Hawaiiand Alaska are a duplication of serv-ice provided by the U.S. Postal Serv-ice. Therefore, effective September 3,1977, the following APO/FPO num-bers will be discontinued:

APO96225963419643896515965459655396557965589873198732987379874298749

FPO9661096611966129661396615966179877198774987759877698783

All military units and personnelaffected by the discontinuance ofthese APO/FPO numbers have beennotified of the civilian delivery ad-dress to be used on mail addressedto them. Also, they have been advisedthat the use of civil address elimi-nates the SAM/PAL service pres-ently provided to these destinations.

A. Separation of Stock Entriesfrom Cash Entries

Entries for stock transactions havebeen separated from entries for cashtransactions on all forms. This sepa-ration should facilitate postings fromstock reports (Form 3959, Daily Re-

cap—Stamp Stock Transactions, orPart Eight of the Accountbook), andpostings from cash reports (Forms1412, Daily Financial Report).

B. Port Eight of the Accountbook

Part Eight of the Accountbook hasbeen modified to show Increases andDecreases in place of Received andIssued. This modification will permitmore meaningful entries to be madeby those offices which sell postage di-rectly out of the main stock. In-creases will usually be limited to thereceipt of stock, and decreases willusually consist of daily sales.

C. Funds for the Blind Received,Account Identifier Code(ArC 081)

AIC 081 has been deleted from thisyear's Accountbook. Any changeswhich are made in the Randolph-Sheppard Act will be published at alater date. Until that time, if the codeis needed, write in the descriptionand amount as necessary.

If there are any questions concern-ing reporting requirements for youroffice, the postmaster should contactthe regional office through chan-nels.—Finance Dept., 8-25-77.

COST-OF-LIVING ANNUITY INCREASEThe Civil Service Commission has

announced that civil service annuitieswill be increased by 4.3 percent ef-fective September 1, 1977. This in-crease is based on the full percentagechange in the Consumer Price Index(CPI) from December 1976 throughJune 1977.

A. Notice to Employees

1. Installation heads should informeligible employees contemplating re-tirement that a 4.3 percent cost-of-living increase is payable effectiveSeptember 1, 1977. Eligible employ-ees should also understand, however,that the retirement law guaranteesthat an immediate (not a deferred)annuity which begins after the effec-tive date of a cost-of-living increasewill be no less than it would havebeen had it commenced on the effec-tive date of the increase. In essence,this law removes the requirementthat an employee's annuity must be-gin on or before the effective date ofa cost-of-living increase in order forthe employee to benefit from theincrease.

2. The annuity paid to an em-ployee who retires on an immediateannuity no later than August 31,1977, with annuity beginning on orbefore September 1, 1977, will bedetermined by comparing:

(a) The annuity that would havebeen payable based on service andhigh-three average pay as of Febru-ary 28,1977, plus the 4.8 percent cost-of-living increase that was effectiveMarch 1, 1977, with

(b) The amount of annuity earnedas of the date of retirement. The em-ployee is entitled to whichever rate ishigher. That higher rate will be in-creased by 4.3 percent effective Sep-tember 1,1977.

3. Employees who separate for re-tirement on an immediate annuity onor after September 1, 1977, with an-nuity beginning on or after Septem-ber 2, 1977, and before the effectivedate of the next following cost-of-living increase, will be entitled only tothe larger of:

(a) The annuity actually earnedas of the separation date, or

(b) The annuity earned as ofAugust 31, 1977, plus the 4.3 per-cent cost-of-living increase effectiveSeptember 1,1977.

B. Disposition of Annual LeaveBalance

1. Bargaining Unit EmployeesUnused current accrued annual

leave which exceeds the amount thebargaining unit employee is author-ized to carry-over from year to yearmust be used before retirement or itwill be forfeited. The provisions inold POSTAL MANUAL 721.34 on pay-ment for accumulated and currentaccrued annual leave are applicableto employees covered by collectivebargaining agreements.

2. Non-Bargaining Unit Em-ployees

Non-bargaining unit employeeswill be paid a lump sum for unusedannual leave up to the authorizedcarry-over and for accrued annualleave earned in the year of retirement(separation).

C. Granting LWOP in CertainPending Disability RetirementCases

1. A disability annuity begins theday after the employee's separation,or the day after his or her last day in apay status if disability and service re-quirements are met.

2. There will probably be somepending disability retirement cases inwhich the Civil Service Commissionwill be unable by August 31, 1977, todetermine and notify interested par-ties whether the applicant is totallydisabled. If the applicant is carriedin a pay status after August 31, 1977,the employee will not be eligible forthe comparative computation of an-nuity back to February 28, 1977 (seepar. A-2). To avoid this situation,applicants may request, and installa-tion heads may grant, leave withoutpay beginning September 1,1977.

If the disability claim is disallowed,sick or annual leave with pay may beretroactively substituted for the leavewithout pay. If the claim is allowed,the annuity begins September 1,1977; unused accumulated annualleave is payable in a lump sum (seepart B above); and unused sick leaveis included in the annuity computa-tion as in other retirement cases.

3. Where a large amount of sickleave is involved, it may be more ad-vantageous for the employee to re-main in a pay status on sick leave andbe separated when the sick leave ex-pires. Although the employee wouldnot be eligible for a comparative an-nuity computation back to February

28, 1977, he or she would be eligiblefor a comparative computation backto August 31, 1977 (see par. A-3).

D. Retirement CounselingForm 2411, Check List for Prere-

tirement Interviews, provides a guideon information that should be of in-terest to prospective retirees. Someinformation of general interest is re-peated here for convenience.

1. Federal Income Tax(a) A civil service annuitant does

not pay Federal income tax on annu-ity until he or she has received an-nuity payments equal to the amountcontributed to the Civil Service Re-tirement Fund.

(b) The Tax Reform Act of 1976(Public Law 94-455), enacted Octo-ber 4, 1976, amends the Federal taxlaw dealing with the sick pay exclu-sion for individuals who retire on dis-ability.

(c) Based on new Internal Reve-nue Service rules, an individual mustmeet all the following provisions toexclude up to $5200 of disability an-nuity from Federal income tax underthe sick pay/disability exclusion:

(1) The taxpayer must retire ondisability, and be permanently andtotally disabled for any substantialgainful employment.

(.2) The taxpayer must be underage 65 during any year in which theexclusion is claimed. The exclusionends at the beginning of the year inwhich age 65 is attained or at the be-ginning of an earlier year in whichthe taxpayer makes an irrevocableelection not to have the exclusionapply.

(3) If the taxpayer's income fromall sources exceeds $15,000, theamount of annuity which may be ex-cluded from tax is reduced one dollarfor each dollar of income over$15,000. If the taxpayer is married atthe close of the taxable year, the dis-ability exclusion is available only ifthe taxpayer and his or her spouse filea joint return for the taxable year, ex-cept in the case of a husband and wifewho lived apart at all times duringthe taxable year.

(d) An employee who retires un-der the disability provisions of theCivil Service Retirement Law (totaldisability for the position held at re-tirement) must prove to the satis-faction of the Internal RevenueService that he or she meets thedefinition of disability contained inthe new tax law (total and perma-

JtPOSTAL BULLETIN 2U22, 8-25-77, Page

nent disability for any substantialgainful employment).

(e) Under the Tax Reform Actof 1976, there is no income tax ad-vantage for disability retirement ofan employee who will be 65 or overin the calendar year in which he orshe retires, since the sick pay/disability exclusion ends no laterthan the beginning of the year inwhich age 65 is attained. For em-ployees under age 65, clearcut advicecannot be offered regarding the in-come tax advantage of disabilityretirement versus optional retirementbecause the definition of disability inthe new tax law is different and morestringent than the definition of dis-ability in Civil Service retirement law.From a retirement standpoint, op-tional retirement can be processedmore rapidly as the employee is notrequired to go to the time and ex-pense of documenting his or herdisability for retirement purposes.Disability retirement is still advan-tageous to the disabled employee whohas less than the 12 years of credit-able service required to continuehealth and life insurance coverageinto retirement. (See sections D-2andD-3.)

(f) Questions relative to anyaspect of Federal income tax are tobe referred to the District Director ofInternal Revenue.

2. Federal Employees Group LifeInsurance

(a) Regular (basic) life insurancecontinues free after retirement on animmediate annuity with 12 or moreyears of service, or for disability.

(b) If the employee has had op-tional insurance for all service duringwhich it was available to him or her,it may also be continued into retire-ment. However, optional insurancepremiums are paid (by automatic de-ductions from monthly annuity)until age 65. After age 65, optionalinsurance also continues free.

(c) When an employee retires atage 65 or over, or when he or shereaches 65, if he or she retires beforethat age, both regular and optionalinsurance reduce by 2 percent amonth. These reductions continueuntil the amount of insurance reaches25 percent of the amount in force atretirement.

3. Health Benefits (Hospitalizationand Medical)

-An employee who retires on animmediate annuity with 12 or moreyears of creditable service, or for dis-ability, may continue health benefits

coverage into retirement if he or shehas been enrolled (or covered as afamily member) in a Federal healthplan:

(a) During the 5 years of serviceimmediately preceding retirement, or

(b) During all service since his orher first opportunity to enroll.

4. Election of Survivor Annuity(a) Retiring employees who are

married should be made aware ofthe small reduction in annuity forproviding survivor benefits for spouse.Married employees (male and fe-male) who elect an annuity withoutsurvivor benefits to spouse will be- re-to their retirement application con-firming this election and indicatingthey understand the monetary differ-ence involved.

(b) Retirement counselors are ad-vised that a recent change in the re-tirement law provides that an an-nuity will again be reduced by thesurvivor benefits to spouse will be re-computed and paid at the unre-duced rate when the retired em-ployee's marriage to the designatedspouse ends. The higher unreducedannuity rate will be paid for eachfull month during which the retiredemployee is not married. When theretired employee remarries, die an-nuity will again be reduced by thesame percentage reductions whichwere in effect at the time of theretirement.

(c) Annuity increases based onthis change in law will be paid onlyfor applicable periods which beginon or after November I, 1974. As inall matters involving retired employ-ees, inquiries concerning annuity ad-justments should be directed to dieU.S. Civil Service Commission.
