Retirement Annuity Payments

Once an employee retires and receives a lump sum payment, the employee is no longer paid through the NFC Payroll system and therefore the System does not make annuity payments to employees. Civil Service employees receive their annuity payments from OPM; Foreign Service employees receive their annuity from the Department of State.

• For Civil Service annuitants: www.opm.gov/retire (Click on Services Online)
• For Foreign Service annuitants: www.state.gov/m/dghr/ret/ad

• Process Federal and State tax withholdings,
• Change or establish Voluntary Allotments,
• Change or start Direct Deposit,
• Change home address, and
• Request a duplicate Form 1099R

At the beginning of the employee’s retirement, the employee will receive an initial statement on monthly annuity and then will receive an update only if something is changed (withholdings, allotments, etc.).
