Abstract: RI 38–107 is designed for use by the Retirement Inspection Branch when OPM, for any reason, must verify that the entitled person is indeed receiving the monies payable. RI 38–147 collects the same information and is used by other groups within Retirement Services Program. Failure to collect this information would cause OPM to pay monies absent the assurance of a correct payee.
