MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. John r,; lierlihy
THROUGH Head of ^ Career Service
SUBJECT Notification of Non-eligibility for Designation as a
Participant in the CIA Retirement and Disability System
1. As you may know, we are in the process of reviewing the employment
history and current career field of all employees in the Agency to identify
those who are eligible for designation as a participant in the new CIA
Retirement and Disability System. In this process, the initial review of
each case is made by the individual's Career Service. If the Head of his
Career Service nominates him for participation in the system, this nomina-
tion is reviewed by the CIA Retirement Board which recommends final action
to me. However, if the Head of the Career Service advises that the employee
does not meet the basic requirements of HR 20-50 for participation, I have
accepted this finding without further review by the CIA Retirement Board.
This practice has been adopted in the interest of expediting this screening
process so that those employees who are eligible to participate in the sys-
tem may be designated participants as soon as possible.
2. In your case, the Head of your Career Service has advised me that
you do not meet the requirements of HR 20-50 for designation as a partici-
pant and I have accordingly made the formal determination required by the
regulation that you are not eligible for designation. From a review of your
record it appears that the decision of your Career Service was based upon
the fact that you do not have sufficient time prior to completing 15 years
of service with the Agency in which you could complete a minimum of 60 months
of qualifying service as required by regulation. My determination that you
are not eligible at this time for designation in no way affects your current
status under the Civil Service Retirement System, nor does it preclude recon-
sideration of your eligibility to participate in the CIA System if you should
meet the requirements for designation in the future.
3. Should you desire further information concerning the requirements
for designation as a participant in the CIA Retirement System, I suggest that
you read paragraph e of HR 20-50 of the Employee Bulletin
dated 30 July 1965, entitled "Public Law 88-643, The Central Intelligence
Agency Retirement Act of 1964 for Certain Employees."
4. It is always possible that the records upon which the determination
made in your case may have been incomplete or inaccurate regarding your actual
employment history with the Agency. If, after studying the materials cited
above, you have questions regarding the determination that you are not eligi-
ble to participate in the CIA Retirement System, please feel free to contact
officials of your Career Service. They are familiar with the details of your
case and will gladly discuss them with you. In addition, you may wish to dis-
cuss your case with the CIA Retirement Staff located in Room Head-
quarters (extension 0). If such discussions do not resolve any questions
you have regarding your eligibility, you may request that your case be formally
considered by the Board. However, this request must be made within 30 days of
the date of this memorandum.
