- (a) OPM will reduce the annuity of an individual who has performed Federal service, if the individual is entitled, or on proper application would be entitled, to old-age benefits under title II of the Social Security Act.
- (b) The reduction required under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section is effective on the 1st day of the month during which the employee—
  - (1) Is entitled to an annuity under CSRS; and
  - (2) Is entitled, or on proper application would be entitled, to old-age benefits under title II of the Social Security Act.
- (c) Subject to paragraphs [(d)](#d) and [(e)](#e) of this section, the amount of the reduction required under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section is the lesser of—
  - (1) **The difference between—**
    - (i) The Social Security old-age benefit for the month referred to in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section; and
    - (ii) The old-age benefit that would be payable to the individual for the month referred to in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section, excluding all wages from Federal service, and assuming the annuitant was fully insured (as defined by section 215(a) of the Social Security Act ([42 U.S.C. 414(a)](/usc/42/414.md?p=a)); or
  - (2) **The product of—**
    - (i) The old-age benefit to which the individual is entitled or would, on proper application, be entitled; and
    - (ii) **A fraction—**
      - (A) The numerator of which is the annuitant's total Federal service, rounded to the nearest whole number of years not exceeding 40 years; and
      - (B) **The denominator of which is 40.**
- (d) Cost-of-living adjustments under [5 U.S.C. 8340](/usc/5/8340.md) occurring after the effective date of the reduction required under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section will be based on only the annuity remaining after reduction under this subpart.
- (e) The amounts for paragraphs [(c)(1)(i)](#c-1-i), [(c)(1)(ii)](#c-1-ii), and [(c)(2)(i)](#c-2-i) of this section are computed without regard to [subsections (b) through (l)](/cfr/5/203.md?p=b..l) of section 203 of the Social Security Act ([42 U.S.C. 403](/usc/42/403.md)) (relating to reductions in Social Security benefits), and without applying the provisions of the second sentence of [section 215(a)(7)(B)(i)](/cfr/5/215.md?p=a-7-B-i) or section 214(d)(5)(ii) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
