Where this section sits in the code
- Title 5—Administrative Personnel
- CHAPTER I—OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
- SUBCHAPTER B—CIVIL SERVICE REGULATIONS
- PART 839—CORRECTION OF RETIREMENT COVERAGE ERRORS UNDER THE FEDERAL ERRONEOUS RETIREMENT COVERAGE CORRECTIONS ACT
- Subpart J—Lost Earnings for Certain Make-up Contributions to the TSP
The Board's error correction regulations (5 CFR 1605 of chapter VI) generally allow you to increase your TSP account through a schedule of make-up contributions to replace the missed employee contributions. In addition, the FERCCA allows certain employees who have completed a schedule of make-up contributions, or who plan to schedule make-up contributions, to receive lost earnings on those contributions under certain circumstances. Employees are (and have been) entitled to lost earnings on the make-up agency contributions they receive as a result of the correction of an agency error.
