What is the latest on solicitation of retirees? Can a retiree who wants to give do so through payroll deduction?
A. At this time, a federal retiree may make a one time contribution to the CFC. However, retirees can not be solicited but are to be provided with the opportunity to give should they wish to do so. OPM and a National Retiree Access Committee tested retiree giving through annuity deduction during the 2000 CFC. Future roll-out will be based on test results and evaluations following the 2000 testing process.
