                      Subpart C--Credit for Service
 
Sec. 831.305  Service with a nonappropriated fund instrumentality after June 18, 1952, but before January 1, 1966.

    (a) Definitions and special usages. In this section--
    (1) Service in a nonappropriated fund instrumentality is any service 
performed by an employee that involved conducting arts and crafts, 
drama, music, library, service (i.e., recreation) club, youth 
activities, sports or recreation programs (including any outdoor 
recreation programs) for personnel of the armed forces. Service is not 
creditable if it was performed in programs other than those specifically 
named in this subsection.
    (2) Certification by the head of a nonappropriated fund 
instrumentality can also be certification by the National Personnel 
Records Center or by an official of another Federal agency having 
possession of records that will verify an individual's service.
    (3) CSRS means the Civil Service Retirement System.
    (b) Conditions for creditability. Pursuant to Pub. L. 99-638 and 
provided the same period of service has not been used to obtain annuity 
payable from a nonappropriated fund retirement plan, an individual who 
performed service in a nonappropriated fund instrumentality is entitled 
to credit under CSRS if--
    (1) The service was performed after June 18, 1952, but before 
January 1, 1966; and
    (2) The individual was employed in a position subject to CSRS on 
November 9, 1986.
    (c) Deposit for service is not necessary. It is not necessary for an 
individual to make a deposit for service performed with a 
nonappropriated fund instrumentality to receive credit for such service. 
However, if the individual does not elect to make a deposit, his or her 
annuity is reduced by 10 percent of the amount that should have been 
deposited for the period of service (including any interest) as 
specified by sections 8334(e) (2) and (3) of title 5, United States 
Code. When an employee elects an alternative annuity and also elects to 
make the deposit, OPM will deem the deposit to be made for purposes of 
conputing the alternative annuity.
