Retirement Annuity Supplement Clarity Act

This bill changes how federal retirement law treats the annuity supplement, an extra payment some federal retirees receive, when a court order or agreement divides a retiree's annuity (for example, in a divorce). If the order expressly divides the annuity, the supplement would be included in the division unless the order expressly excludes it. This rule would apply to supplement payments that begin on or after the bill becomes law. The Office of Personnel Management would make a one-time payment, without interest, to certain retirees whose supplements were recomputed since June 30, 2016 to be included in a division, and past overpayments tied to excluding the supplement would be waived.
