How Can You Work For USAID?

There are several ways you can work for USAID - please see the options below for further information and vacancy listings. For information on qualifications and application procedures for job opportunities at USAID, please see the Frequently-Asked Questions page.


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.

Both OPM and Department of State have websites that contain information for retirees to gain access to online services. These include:
Using these online services, retirees can:
  • 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.).
