We Need Information About Your Missing Payment
You may report a missing annuity or survivor annuity payment on the internet at apps.opm.gov/retire/payment/missing_pay.cfm. Or,
use page 2 of this form to report that you have not received a payment authorized by the retirement system, that was lost, stolen,
destroyed, or if a direct deposit was not properly credited to your account at a financial organization. If you wish to file a report of
nonreceipt of payment, please complete page 2 of this form. Remember to sign it and return it without delay to the address shown at the
top of this page. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will send your report to the Department of the Treasury, which maintains
all records on issued payments, so that corrective action may be taken on your behalf.

The retirement system will send your report to the Department of the Treasury as quickly as possible after receipt of the completed form.
If your payment was a check, the Department of the Treasury will determine whether it has been cashed. If it has not been cashed, a
replacement check will be sent to you. If it has been cashed, the Department of the Treasury will contact you with further instructions.

If your payment was by direct deposit, you need to contact your financial organization before you complete this form. If your financial
organization cannot help you, complete Parts A, B, and C and sign the certification. The Treasury will trace the payment and contact you
with further instructions.

You must return this notice to us. We cannot take any action until you complete the form on page 2 of this notice and return the
information to us. If you need assistance in completing this form, telephone OPM's Retirement Information Office at 1-888-767-6738.
Our hours are 7:30 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. Eastern time.
