SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public
Law 112–96, Section 5001, the ‘‘Middle
Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of
2012,’’ makes two significant changes to
the Federal Employees’ Retirement
System (FERS). First, beginning in 2013,
new employees (as designated in the
statute) will have to pay significantly
higher employee contributions, an
increase of 2.3 percent of salary.
Second, new Members of Congress and
Congressional employees, in addition to
paying higher retirement contributions,
will accrue retirement benefits at the
same rate as regular employees.
New employees affected by this law
will be classified in a new retirement
category; the Federal Employees’
Retirement System—Revised Annuity
Employees (FERS–RAE). The current
Standard Form 2812, Standard Form
2812–A, and OPM Form 1523, have
been changed to reflect this additional
category.
