§838.501. Purpose and scope.
5 C.F.R. § 838.501
This subpart regulates the requirements that a court order directed at or barring a refund of employee contributions must meet to be a court order acceptable for processing.
A court order is directed at a refund of employee contributions if it awards a former spouse a portion of a refund of employee contributions.
A court order bars a refund of employee contributions if it prohibits payment of a refund of employee contributions to preserve a former spouse's court-awarded entitlement to a portion of an employee annuity or to a former spouse survivor annuity.
