Federal Law requires the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) to verify that Federal Retirement payments
are made to the appropriate individuals and that all payments are
accurate based on their status. To ensure benefits are correct and make
sure OPM is aware of any changes in status, OPM sends annual surveys to
verify the accuracy of information on file. OPM sends surveys to all
annuitants under the age of 60 receiving a Disability Benefit, students
between the ages of 18-22 or person assigned
as the Representative Payee for an annuitant, and individuals receiving
Annuity Supplement benefits prior to the age of 62. Each survey asks
specific questions regarding one’s
status. If you meet the criteria, you are required to respond in order
to maintain eligibility for continued benefits. Failure to respond in
a timely manner are likely to result in the suspension of benefits. Additionally, non-responses could result in overpayments of benefits and such benefits must
be repaid. Please remember to report all changes in direct deposit
accounts, correspondence and email addresses to OPM since misdirected
payments and undeliverable mail may also result in suspension of
benefits.
