What impact will LWOP have on my (a) retirement coverage, (b) retirement deductions and (c) my annuity computation at the time of retirement?
You will get full service credit for all the time you are in an LWOP status with the AOC and in receipt of compensation payments with OWCP. You will: (a) remain covered by the retirement system during the period of LWOP; (b) no retirement deductions will be made while you are in a LWOP status; and, (c) at the time of retirement, all LWOP will be treated as though it was paid in and used in computing your annuity. If you remain disabled for one full year, and action is taken to terminate your employment, you will no longer be entitled to receive credit towards your retirement.
